Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ فَتْرَةِ الْوَحْيِ فَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنْ السَّمَاءِ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي جَاءَنِي بِحِرَاءٍ جَالِسٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَجُئِثْتُ مِنْهُ رُعْبًا فَرَجَعْتُ فَقُلْتُ زَمِّلُونِي زَمِّلُونِي فَدَثَّرُونِي فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ { يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ } قَبْلَ أَنْ تُفْرَضَ الصَّلَاةُ وَهِيَ الْأَوْثَانُ.
English Translation
'Abd al-Razzaq told us, from Ma'mar, who said: al-Zuhri said, Abu Salama ibn 'Abd al-Rahman informed me, from Jabir ibn 'Abdullah, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, speaking about the interval of the revelation, and he said in his narration: "While I was walking, I heard a voice from the sky. I raised my head, and there was the angel who had come to me at Hira', sitting on a throne between heaven and earth. I was struck with terror because of him, so I returned and said, 'Wrap me up, wrap me up!' So they wrapped me up, and Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed: 'O you wrapped in a cloak! Arise and warn! And your Lord magnify!' up to His saying, 'And uncleanliness shun'" — before prayer was made obligatory — "and it refers to the idols."
