[Machine] The first verse that was revealed is "Read in the name of your Lord who created" [Al-Alaq 1]. Jaabir said, "I only narrate to you as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated to us. He said, 'I was sheltering in Hira when I heard a voice, but I did not see anything. Then I turned to look, but I did not see anything. I looked to my right and left, but I did not see anything. Then I looked up and behold, I saw him sitting on a throne between the heavens and the earth. I was so frightened that I came to Khadijah and said, 'Cover me! Cover me!' They covered me until my fear had passed, then I said, 'O Khadijah, what is wrong with me?' I told her what had happened and said, 'I fear that something may happen to me.' She said, 'Never! By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you. You uphold the ties of kinship, you bear the burden of the weak, you help the poor and the destitute, you serve your guests generously, and you help people in difficulty.'" (Al-Mudaththir 2).

I asked Aba Salama bin ʿAbdur-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-ʿAlaq (the Clot)." On that, Abu Salama said, "I asked Jabir bin ʿAbdullah about that, saying the same as you have said, whereupon he said, 'I will not tell you except what Messenger of Allah ﷺ had told us. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I was in seclusion in the cave of Hira', and after I completed 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 Muddaththir) was revealed." (74.1)

I asked Abu Salama what was revealed first from the Qur'an. He said:" 0, the shrouded one." I said: Or" Recite." Jabir said: I am narrating to you what was narrated to us by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: I stayed in Hira' for one month and when my stay was completed, I come down and went into the heart of the valley. Somebody called me aloud. I looked in front of me, behind me, on the right of my side and on my left, but I did not see any body. I was again called and I looked about but saw nothing. I was called again and raised my head, and there on the Throne in the open atmosphere he, i. e. Gabriel (peace be upon him) was sitting. I began to tremble on account of fear. I came to Khadija and said: Wrap me up. They wrapped me up and threw water on me and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, sent down this: you who are shrouded! arise and deliver warning, your Lord magnify, your clothes cleanse."

While he was facing Hira', suddenly I heard a sound from above me. I raised my head and saw the angel who came to me in Hira' sitting on a chair above my head. When I saw him, I became frightened and fell to the ground. When I woke up, I hurriedly went to my family and said, 'Cover me, cover me.'

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "I passed by Hira and when I completed my visitation, I headed towards the valley. Then a caller called out, and I looked to my right, left, and behind, but I did not see anything. Then I looked above and saw Gabriel sitting on a throne between the heaven and the earth. I was overwhelmed with awe and returned to Khadijah and said, 'Cover me, cover me!' They covered me with a blanket and poured cold water over me, saying, 'O you, who have been enveloped!'"  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٥٦٩أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَارِظٍ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَوَّلَ شَيْءٍ نَزَلَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ §يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ قَالَ جَابِرٌ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ جَاوَرْتُ بِحِرَاءٍ فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ جِوَارِي أَقْبَلْتُ فِي بَطْنِ الْوَادِي فَنَادَى مُنَادٍ فَنَظَرْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَشِمَالِي وَخَلْفِي فَلَمْ أَرَ شَيْئًا فَنَظَرْتُ فَوْقِي فَإِذَا جِبْرِيلُ جَالِسٌ عَلَى عَرْشٍ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَجُئِثْتُ مِنْهُ فَأَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى خَدِيجَةَ فَقُلْتُ دَثِّرُونِي دَثِّرُونِي وَصُبُّوا عَلَيَّ مَاءً بَارِدًا فَأَنْزَلَ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ

"جَاوَرْتُ بِحِرَاءَ شَهْرًا، فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ جِوَارِى نَزَلْتُ، فاسْتَبْطَنْتُ بَطنَ الْوَادى، فَنُوديتُ، فَنَظَرتُ أَمَامِى، وَخْلْفِى، وَعَن يَمِينِى، وَعن شِمَالِى، فَلَمْ أَرَ أحَدًا، ثُمَّ نُوديتُ، فنظرتُ، فَلَم أَرَ أَحدًا، ثُمَّ نْودِيتُ، فَرَفعتُ رَأْسِى، فَإِذا هُوَ عَلَى الْعَرشِ فِى الْهَوَاءِ -يعنى جبريل- فَأَخَذَتْنِى رَجْفَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ، فَأَتيْتُ خَديجَةَ، فَقُلتُ: دَثُرونِى (فَدَثَّرُونى) وَصَبُّوا عَلَىَّ ماءً بَارِدًا، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّه تعالى {يَاأَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ (1) قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ (2) وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ (3) وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ (4)}.

" عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: احْتُبِسَ الْوَحْىُّ عَنِ النّبِىِّ ﷺ فِى أَوَّلِ أَمْرِه وَحبِّبَ إِليْهِ الْخَلاَءُ فَجَعَلَ يَخْلُو فِى حِرَاءَ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ مُقْبِلٌ مِنْ حِرَاءَ قَالَ: إِذَا أَنَا بِحِسٍّ فَوْقِى، فَرَفَعْتُ رَأسِى فَإِذَا أنَا بِشَئٍ عَلَى كُرْسِّيٍ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ جَثَيْتُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، فَأَتَيْتُ

أهْلِى بِسُرْعَةٍ فَقُلتُ: دَثِّرُونِى دَثِّرونُى، فَأَتَانِى جِبْرِيلُ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: {يَاأَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ (1) قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ (2) وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ (3) وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ (4) وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ (5)} ".

"فَتَرَ الْوَحْيُ عَنِّي فَتْرَةً، فَبَينَا أَنَا أَمْشِى سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَرَفَعْتُ بَصَرِى قِبَلَ السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِالْمَلَكِ الَّذِي أَتَانِي في غَارِ حِرَاءَ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ بَينَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، فَجئثتُ مِنْهُ فَرَقًا, حَتَّى هَوَيتُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، فَأَتَيتُ خَدِيجَةَ, فَقُلْتُ: دَثِّرُونِي

دَثِّرونى فَدُثِّرْتُ، فَجَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ؛ فَقَال بِرِجْلِهِ: أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ، قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ, وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ، وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ، والرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ".
