Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Harith bin Hisham asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): How does revelation come to you? The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) replied:“Sometimes it comes to me like the ringing of a bell, and when this state departs, I remember what was revealed. This is the hardest experience for me. Sometimes the angel comes to me in the form of a young man and conveys the words to me, and I retain them. This is the easiest form for me.”
