Hadith 2523

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " أَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَكَّةَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً ، سَبْعَ سِنِينَ يَرَى الضَّوْءَ وَيَسْمَعُ الصَّوْتَ ، وَثَمَانِي سِنِينَ يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ ، وَأَقَامَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) resided in Makkah Mukarramah for fifteen years: seven years in such a way that he would see light and hear voices, and eight years in such a way that revelation would descend upon him. And in Madinah Munawwarah, he resided for ten years.
