Volume 6, Book 60, Number 443:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Allah’s Apostle went out along with a group of his companions towards ‘Ukaz Market. At that time
something intervened between the devils and the news of the Heaven, and flames were sent down
upon them, so the devils returned. Their fellow-devils said, “What is wrong with you? ” They said,
“Something has intervened between us and the news of the Heaven, and fires (flames) have been shot
at us.” Their fellow-devils said, “Nothing has intervened between you and the news of the Heaven,
but an important event has happened. Therefore, travel all over the world, east and west, and try to
find out what has happened.” And so they set out and travelled all over the world, east and west,
looking for that thing which intervened between them and the news of the Heaven. Those of the
devils who had set out towards Tihama, went to Allah’s Apostle at Nakhla (a place between Mecca
and Taif) while he was on his way to Ukaz Market. (They met him) while he was offering the Fajr
prayer with his companions. When they heard the Holy Qur’an being recited (by Allah’s Apostle),
they listened to it and said (to each other). This is the thing which has intervened between you and
the news of the Heavens.” Then they returned to their people and said, “O our people! We have really
heard a wonderful recital (Qur’an). It gives guidance to the right, and we have believed therein. We

shall not join in worship, anybody with our Lord.” (See 72.1-2) Then Allah revealed to His Prophet
(Surat al-Jinn):
‘Say: It has been revealed to me that a group (3 to 9) of Jinns listened (to the Qur’an).’ (72.1) The
statement of the Jinns was revealed to him .

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 444:
Narrated Yahya bin Abi Kathir:
I asked Aba Salama bin ‘Abdur-Rahman about the first Sura revealed of the Qur’an. He replied “O
you, wrapped-up (i.e. Al Muddaththir).” I said, “They say it was, ‘Read, in the Name of your Lord Who
created,’ (i.e. Surat Al-‘Alaq (the Clot).” On that, Abu Salama said, “I asked Jabir bin ‘Abdullah about
that, saying the same as you have said, whereupon he said, ‘I will not tell you except what Allah’s
Apostle had told us. Allah’s Apostle said, “I was in seclusion in the cave of Hiram’, and after I com –
pleted the limited period of my seclusion. I came down (from the cave) and heard a voice calling me.
I looked to my right, but saw nothing. Then I looked up and saw something. So I went to Khadija (the
Prophet’s wife) and told her to wrap me up and pour cold water on me. So they wrapped me up and
poured cold water on me.” Then, ‘O you, (Muhammad) wrapped up! Arise and warn,’ (Surat Al Mud –
daththir) was revealed.” (74.1)

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
We were in a Ghazwa and a man from the emigrants kicked an Ansari (on the buttocks with his
foot). The Ansari man said, “O the Ansari! (Help!)” The emigrant said, “O the emigrants! (Help).”
When Allah’s Apostle heard that, he said, “What is that?” They said, “A man from the emigrants
kicked a man from the Ansar (on the buttocks his foot). On that the Ansar said, ‘O the Ansar!’ and the
emigrant said, ‘O the emigrants!” The Prophet said’ “Leave it (that call) for it Is a detestable thing.” The
number of Ansar was larger (than that of the emigrants) at the time when the Prophet came to Med –
ina, but later the number of emigrants increased. ‘Abdullah bin Ubai said, “Have they, (the emigrants)
done so? By Allah, if we return to Medina, surely, the more honorable will expel therefrom the
meaner,” ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Let me chop off the head of this hypocrite!”
The Prophet said, “Leave him, lest the people say Muhammad kills his companions:”

of that. Allah’s Apostle became very angry at that and said, “(Ibn ‘Umar must return her to his
house and keep her as his wife till she becomes clean and then menstruates and becomes clean
again, whereupon, if he wishes to divorce her, he may do so while she is still clean and before having
any sexual relations with her, for that is the legally prescribed period for divorce as Allah has
ordered.”
