‘Muhammad bin Shihab narrated, Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) informed him, and from him Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that’ the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was mentioning the pause in revelation for a few days. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I was walking when suddenly I heard a voice from the sky. I looked up and saw the same angel (Jibril, peace be upon him) who had come to me in the cave of Hira, sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I was greatly frightened by him and returned home and said,“Cover me with a blanket.”So the people of the house covered me with a blanket. Then Allah the Exalted revealed this verse «يا أيها المدثر * قم فأنذر * وربك فكبر * وثيابك فطهر * والرجز فاهجر‏» :“O you who are wrapped up! Arise and warn, and magnify your Lord, and purify your garments.”Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that «الرجز» were the idols of the time of ignorance which they used to worship. The narrator said that after that, the revelation continued regularly.
