Sahih

كَيْفَ كَانَ بَدْءُ الْوَحْىِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم

How the revelation to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began

ـ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ فَتْرَةِ الْوَحْىِ، فَقَالَ ـ فِي حَدِيثِهِ " بَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي، إِذْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا، مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَرَفَعْتُ بَصَرِي فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي جَاءَنِي بِحِرَاءٍ جَالِسٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، فَرُعِبْتُ مِنْهُ، فَرَجَعْتُ فَقُلْتُ زَمِّلُونِي. فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ * قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ} فَحَمِيَ الْوَحْىُ وَتَتَابَعَ ".

قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، قَالَ

Translation

Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari reported, while speaking about the pause in the revelation, that (the Prophet ﷺ) said in his account: “While I was walking, I suddenly heard a voice from the sky. I raised my gaze, and there was the angel who had come to me at Hira, sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I was frightened of him, so I returned and said: ‘Wrap me up!’ Then Allah the Exalted sent down: ‘O you who are wrapped in a cloak, arise and warn!’ up to His words: ‘And shun the idols!’ Then the revelation became intense and came in succession.”

Dschabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari berichtete, während er von der Unterbrechung der Offenbarung erzählte, (der Prophet ﷺ) habe in seinem Bericht gesagt: „Während ich ging, hörte ich plötzlich eine Stimme vom Himmel. Ich hob meinen Blick, und da war der Engel, der in Hira zu mir gekommen war, auf einem Stuhl zwischen Himmel und Erde sitzend. Ich erschrak vor ihm, kehrte zurück und sagte: ‚Hüllt mich ein!‘ Da sandte Allah, der Erhabene, herab: ‚O du Zugedeckter, steh auf und warne!‘ bis zu Seinem Wort: ‚Und den Götzendienst meide!‘ Darauf wurde die Offenbarung lebhaft und folgte Schlag auf Schlag.“

Câbir b. Abdullah el-Ensârî (r.a.), vahyin kesilmesinden bahsederken şöyle rivayet etti: (Nebî ﷺ) sözünde şöyle buyurdu: “Ben yürürken birden gökten bir ses işittim. Başımı kaldırdım, bir de baktım ki Hira'da bana gelen melek gökle yer arasında bir kürsü üzerinde oturuyor. Ondan korktum, döndüm ve ‘Beni örtün!’ dedim. Bunun üzerine Allah Teâlâ ‘Ey örtüsüne bürünen! Kalk ve uyar!’ âyetlerini ‘Putlardan uzak dur!’ sözüne kadar indirdi. Bundan sonra vahiy kızıştı ve ardı ardına geldi.”
