Bayhaqi 13335 — What was required of him ﷺ of witnessing the Truth

وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، يَقُولُ: أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " ثُمَّ فَتَرَ الْوَحْيُ عَنِّي، فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَمْشِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَرَفَعْتُ بَصَرِي قِبَلَ السَّمَاءِ، فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَجِيئُنِي قَاعِدٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، فَجَئِثْتُ مِنْهُ فَزِعًا حَتَّى هَوَيْتُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، فَجِئْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي، فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ زَمِّلُونِي " فَزَمَّلُوهُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: {يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ} [المدثر: ٢] " قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ: الرُّجْزُ الْأَوْثَانُ قَالَ: " ثُمَّ جَاءَ الْوَحْيُ بَعْدُ وَتَتَابَعَ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ بِالْإِسْنَادَيْنِ جَمِيعًا دُونَ كَلَامِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ.
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with them both) heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Then the revelation stopped for some days. Once, while I was walking, I heard a voice from the sky. I raised my eyes towards the sky, and there was the angel who used to come to me, sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I was so terrified of him that I fell down to the ground. I came to my family and said to them: 'Wrap me up, wrap me up.'" So they wrapped him up, and Allah Almighty revealed these verses: "O you who are wrapped up! Arise and warn. And magnify your Lord. And purify your garments. And shun the rujz." [Surah al-Muddaththir: 1-5]
Abu Salamah said: Al-rujz means the idols. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then after that the revelation came, one after another."
