وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ

قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ فَتْرَةِ الْوَحْىِ قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ «فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي جَاءَنِي بِحِرَاءٍ جَالِسًا عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ «قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَجُئِثْتُ مِنْهُ فَرَقًا فَرَجَعْتُ فَقُلْتُ زَمِّلُونِي زَمِّلُونِي.

فَدَثَّرُونِي فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى «يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ * قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ * وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ * وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ * وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ» وَهِيَ الأَوْثَانُ قَالَ ثُمَّ تَتَابَعَ الْوَحْىُ»

Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari who was one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) reportedThe Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) told about the intermission of revelation and narrated While I was walking I heard a voice from the sky, and raising my head I saw the angel who had come to me in Hira, sitting on a Throne between heaven and earth I was terror-stricken on that account and came back (to my family) and said: Wrap me up, wrap me up!

So they wrapped me up, and the Blessed and Most Exalted Allah sent down: “ You who are shrouded, arise and deliver warning, your Lord magnify, your clothes cleanse, and defilement shun,” and defilement means idols; and then the revelation was followed continuously.

আবূ তাহির আহমাদ ইবনু আমর ইবনু আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু সাবহ আল মিসরী (রহঃ) ..... 'আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু আমর ইবনু আল আস (রাযিঃ) বলেন যে, এক ব্যক্তি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম কে জিজ্ঞেস করল, সর্বোত্তম মুসলিম কে?' তিনি বললেন, সে ব্যক্তি যার মুখ ও হাত থেকে সকল মুসলিম নিরাপদ থাকে।

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu ath-Thahir Ahmad bin Amru bin Abdullah bin Amru bin Sarh al-Mishri] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ibnu Wahab] dari [Amru bin al-Harits] dari [Yazid bin Abu Habib] dari [Abu al-Khair] bahwa dia mendengar [Abdullah bin Amru bin al-Ash] keduanya berkata, "Sesungguhnya seorang laki-laki bertanya kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, "Muslim yang bagaimana yang paling baik?"

Beliau menjawab: "Yaitu seorang Muslim yang orang lain merasa aman dari gangguan lisan dan tangannya

What it means

The Prophet (ﷺ), while recounting the halt in revelation at the beginning of his mission, said: As I was walking through the alleys of Makkah, I suddenly heard a voice from the sky. I looked up, and there was the angel Jibrīl (Gabriel)—the same one who had come to me in the cave of Hirā’—sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth.

I was filled with fear and dread of him, so I returned to my family and said: Wrap me in a cloak. So Allah Almighty revealed: {O you covered} in your cloak, {arise} to call people to the message, {and warn} those who have not yet believed in your message. {And your Lord}—your only true God—{proclaim His greatness} and praise and exalt Him.

{And your garments} and clothes {purify them} and clean them from impurities. {And shun the filth}, i.e., the worship of idols and false gods, {and keep away from it} completely. After that, the revelation became strong and continuous.

What it teaches

  • The revelation to the Prophet (ﷺ) ceased for a short period after the descent of Allah's word: {Read}.
  • It is permissible for a person to speak about the hardships he experienced after they have passed, as an expression of gratitude to Allah Almighty.
  • The first revelation after: {Read in the name of your Lord Who created} was Allah's saying: {O you covered [in your cloak]}.
  • The grace of Allah Almighty upon His Prophet (ﷺ) is shown in that He continuously bestowed revelation upon him without interruption until the Prophet (ﷺ) departed from this world.
  • The obligation to call to Allah Almighty, warning those who turn away, and giving glad tidings to those who obey.
  • The obligation to purify one's clothes for prayer, as inferred from Allah's saying: {And purify your garments}.
  • The obligation to believe in the angels and in what Allah has empowered them to do of tasks and other matters.
