Musnad Abi Ya'la 2225 — I asked Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى، يَقُولُ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، أَيُّ الْقُرْآنِ أُنْزِلَ قَبْلُ؟ فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ فَقُلْتُ: أَوِ اقْرَأْ فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ: أُحَدِّثُكُمْ مَا حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: " جَاوَرْتُ بِحِرَاءٍ شَهْرًا فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ جِوَارِي، نَزَلَتُ فَاسْتَبْطَنْتُ الْوَادِي، فَنُودِيتُ فَنَظَرْتُ أَمَامِي وَخَلْفِي وَعَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ شِمَالِي، فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا، ثُمَّ نُودِيتُ فَنَظَرْتُ فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا، ثُمَّ نُودِيتُ فَنَظَرْتُ فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا، فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَإِذَا هُوَ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ فِي الْهَوَاءِ - يَعْنِي جِبْرِيلَ - فَأَخَذَتْنِي رَجْفَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ، فَأَتَيْتُ خَدِيجَةَ فَقُلْتُ: دَثِّرُونِي، فَدَثَّرُونِي وَصُبُّوا عَلَيَّ مَاءً، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ} [المدثر: 2] "
Yahya (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I asked Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) which part of the Qur'an was revealed first. He replied: "O you wrapped in a cloak." I said: Or "Read"? Then Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I will tell you what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told us. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I stayed (in seclusion) in the cave of Hira for a month. When I had completed my period of stay, I came down, and when I reached the middle 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, and I looked but saw no one. Then I was called again, and I raised my head and suddenly saw that very angel (that is, Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him)) seated on a throne in the air. At this sight a severe trembling and shaking came over me, so I came to Sayyidah Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: Cover me with a cloth. So they covered me with a cloth and poured (cold) water over me. Then Allah Almighty revealed these verses: 'O you wrapped in a cloak! Arise and warn (people of the punishment of Allah), and proclaim the greatness of your Lord, and keep your garments pure.'"
