Volume 4, Book 54, Number 461:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
that he heard the Prophet saying, “The Divine Inspiration was delayed for a short period but sud –
denly, as I was walking. I heard a voice in the sky, and when I looked up towards the sky, to my sur –
prise, I saw the angel who had come to me in the Hira Cave, and he was sitting on a chair in between
the sky and the earth. I was so frightened by him that I fell on the ground and came to my family and
said (to them), ‘Cover me! (with a blanket), cover me!’ Then Allah sent the Revelation: “O, You
wrapped up (In a blanket)! (Arise and warn! And your Lord magnify And keep pure your garments,
And desert the idols.” (74.1-5)
