Reports on how old the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was when revelation came to him
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39310 — Reports on how old the Prophet
٣٩٣١٠ - [حدثنا يزيد بن هارون عن هشام (عن) (١) عكرمة عن ابن عباس أن رسول اللَّه ﷺ نزل عليه وهو (ابن) (٢) أربعين سنة فأقام، بمكة ثلاث عشرة، وبالمدينة (عشر سنين) (٣)، وتوفي وهو ابن ثلاث وستين] (٤) (٥).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Qur'an began to be revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when his (peace and blessings be upon him) age was forty years. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) resided for thirteen years in Makkah and ten years in Madinah, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away when his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed age was sixty-three years.
