عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ تُحِسُّ بِالْوَحْيِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَعَمْ أَسْمَعُ صَلَاصِلَ ثُمَّ أَسْكُتُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَمَا مِنْ مَرَّةٍ يُوحَى إِلَيَّ إِلَّا ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ نَفْسِي تَفِيضُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: I asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Do you feel the revelation? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, when I hear resounding sounds, I become silent at that moment. Whenever revelation is sent to me, I feel as if my soul is about to depart.
