حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النُّكْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرٌ ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : أَيُّ الْقُرْآنِ أُنْزِلَ قَبْلُ ؟ فَقَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَوِ اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ . قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَيُّ الْقُرْآنِ أُنْزِلَ قَبْلُ ؟ فَقَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَوِ اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ ، قَالَ جَابِرٌ : لَا أُخْبِرُكَ إِلَّا مَا حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : جَاوَرْتُ بِحِرَاءٍ شَهْرًا ، فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ جِوَارِي ، نَزَلْتُ فَاسْتَبْطَنْتُ بَطْنَ الْوَادِي ، قَالَ : فَنُودِيتُ ، فَنَظَرْتُ أَمَامِي وَخَلْفِي ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ شِمَالِي ، فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا ، ثُمَّ نُودِيتُ ، فَنَظَرْتُ أَمَامِي وَخَلْفِي ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ شِمَالِي ، فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا ، ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ فِي الْهَوَاءِ - قَالَ مُبَشِّرٌ : يَعْنِي جِبْرِيلَ - فَجُئِثْتُ ، فَأَتَيْتُ خَدِيجَةَ ، فَأَمَرْتُهُمْ ، فَدَثَّرُونِي ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ : يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ .
Yahya bin Abi Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I asked Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him): "Which part of the Qur'an was revealed first?" He replied: "O you wrapped in garments." I said: "Or: 'Read in the name of your Lord who created'?" Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "I asked Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) this same question, which part of the Qur'an was revealed first, and he said: 'O you wrapped in garments.' I said: 'Or: Read in the name of your Lord who created?' Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'I will tell you only what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated to us.'" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I stayed in seclusion in the cave of Hira for a month. When I had completed my stay, I came down and reached the bottom of the valley. I was called; I looked in front of me, behind me, to my right and to my left, but I saw no one. Then I was called again; I looked in front of me, behind me, to my right and to my left, but I saw no one. Then I looked towards the sky, and there he was, upon a throne in the air." Mubashshir (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This refers to Jibril (peace be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Intense fear came over me. I came to Sayyidah Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) and told the people of the house to wrap me in a sheet, so they wrapped me in a sheet. Then Allah Almighty revealed: 'O you wrapped in garments, arise and warn, and magnify your Lord, and purify your garments.'"
