حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضى الله عنهم

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَبِثَ بِمَكَّةَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ يُنْزَلُ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ، وَبِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرًا

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stayed for ten years in Mecca with the Qur’an being revealed to him and he stayed in Medina for ten years.

‘আয়িশাহ ও ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম নুযুলে কুরআনের দশ বছর[1] মক্কা্য় কাটান আর মদিনা্তেও দশ বছর কাটান। [৩৮৫১, ৪৯৭৮]

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Nu'aim] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syaiban] dari [Yahya] dari [Abu Salamah] dari ['Aisyah] dan [Ibnu 'Abbas radliallahu 'anhu] bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam "Rasulullah menetap di Makkah selama sepuluh tahun, ketika itu Al Qur'an sudah turun kepadanya. Dan di Madinah selama sepuluh tahun juga

Aişe ve İbn Abbas r.a.'dan rivayete göre "Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem Mekke'de kaldığı on yıl boyunca Kur'an-ı Kerim üzerine nazil oluyordu. Medine'de de on yıl kaldı." Bu Hadis 4978 numara ile gelecektir

What it means

This Hadīth shows that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) stayed for ten years in Makkah, after having become a Prophet, and stayed for ten years in Madīnah as well, and that the Qur’an was sent down on him during that whole period. It is proved in other than this Hadīth that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) stayed in Makkah for thirteen years after he had been sent as a Prophet.

Both traditions could be reconciled as follows: the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) stayed for three years in Makkah without proclaiming his message. After that, the revelation was sent down successively. It is as if those who reported the ten-year-period did not count those three years, or they just rounded up the thirteen years to ten.
