45. ACCOUNT OF THE COMING OF THE REVELATION
TO THE APOSTLE OF ALLAH, MAY ALLAH BLESS HIM
Volume 1, Parts 1.45.5
Ibn Sa'd's (hadith)
Yahya lbn Abbad and v Affan Ibn Muslim informed us; they said:
Hammad Ibn Salamah informed us; he said: Ammar Ibn Abi v Ammar
informed us; (variation) Yahya Ibn v Abbad (only) said: Hammad Ibn
Salamah said: I think (he narrated) on the authority of Ibn v Abbas:
Verily, the Prophet, may Allah bless him, said: O Khadijah I hear sounds
and see light and I fear I am mad. She said: son of v Abd Allah ! Allah
will not do it with you. Then she approached Waraqah Ibn Nawfal and
related (the incident) to him. He said: If he is true, then he is nomos as in
the case of Moses. If I am alive, when he is commissioned (to
prophethood) I shall support him, help him and believe in him.
Volume 1, Parts 1.45.3
Muhammad Ibn v Umar informed us; he said: Ibrahim Ibn Isma'il Ibn
Abi Habibah, related to me on the authority of Da'wud Ibn al-Husayn, he
on the authority of v Ikrimah, he on the authority of Ibn v Abbas he said:
When, at that time, the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, was at
Ajyad, he saw an angel, with one foot on the other, in the horizon, and
calling: O Muhammad! I am Gabriel, Muhammadr! I am Gabriel. The
Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, was terrified. [P. 130] Whenever
he raised his head towards the heaven he saw him; so he returned hastily
to Khadijah and conveyed this information to her. He said: O Khadijah !
by Allah, I never hated anything so much as idols and sooth-sayers, and I
am afraid that I shall myself become a soothsayer. She said: my uncle's
son, never ! Do not repeat this. Verily, Allah will not do this with you,
because you fulfil (the obligation of) relationship, speak truth, return
things entrusted to you and your character is noble. Then she went to
Waraqah Ibn Nawfal and it was the first time that she approached him
and told him what the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, had
conveyed to her. Thereupon Waraqah said: Verily, your uncle's son is
truthful and verily, this is the beginning of his prophethood and that the
Archangel (al-Namus al-Akbar) visits him. So, tell him that he should not
think but good about himself.
Volume 1, Parts 1.45.4
'Affan Ibn Muslim informed us: Hammad Ibn Salamah informed us on
the authority of Hisham Ibn 'Urwah, he on the authority of 'Urwah:
Verily, the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, said:
Khadijah, I see light and hear sounds and I fear I shall be a sooth-
sayer. She said: Verily, Allah will not do it with you, son of v Abd Allah.
Verily, you speak the truth, return things entrusted to you and fulfil
(obligations of) relationship
46. ACCOUNT OF WHAT PORTION OF THE QURAN WAS

HIM, PEACE BE ON HIM
Volume 1, Parts 1.46.3
Muhammad Ibn Umar informed us; he said: Ibrahim [P. 131] lbn
Muhammad lbn Abi Musa related to me on the authority of Dawud Ibn
al-Husayn, he on the authority of Ibn Ghatfan Ibn Tarif, he on the
authority of Ibn 'Abbas:
Verily, after the first revelation to the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless
him, that came at Hira, it (the coming of revelations) remained
suspended for a few days; since he did not see Gabriel, he was much
grieved; he went to Thabir and at another time to Hira with the intention
of throwing himself down. When the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless
him, was intending to do this from one of these mountains he heard a
sound coming from the heaven. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless
him, paused for a moment because of the thunderous sound, then he
raised his head and lo ! it was Gabriel seated in a chair between the earth
and the sky. He was saying: Muhammad! Thou art surely the Apostle
of Allah, and I am Gabriel. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him,
returned, and Allah had cooled his eye and strengthened his heart; then
revelations followed one after the other

[P. 132) Ma'n Ibn 'Isa informed us: Malik Ibn Anas informed us on the
authority of Hisham Ibn 'Urwah, he on the authority of his father, he on
the authority of 'Ayishah:
Verily, al-Harith Ibn Hisham said: Apostle of Allah ! how does
revelation dawn upon you? The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him,
said: Sometimes it dawns upon me in the form of the ringing of a bell,
and that is very hard on me; (ultimately) it ceases and I remember what
is said. Sometimes the angel appears to me and speaks and I recollect
what he says. 'Ayishah said: I witnessed the revelation dawning upon him
on an extremely cold day; when it ceased, I noticed that his forehead was
perspiring.
