Hadith text

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari (while talking about the period of pause in revelation) reporting the speech of the Prophet:"While I was walking, all of a sudden I heard a voice from the sky. I looked up and saw the same angel who had visited me at the cave of Hira' sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I got afraid of him and came back home and said, 'Wrap me (in blankets).' And then Allah revealed the following Holy Verses (of Quran): 'O you (i.e. Muhammad)! wrapped up in garments!' Arise and warn (the people against Allah's Punishment),... up to 'and desert the idols.' (74.1-5) After this the revelation started coming strongly, frequently and regularly

Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (رضی اللہ عنہ) wahi ke waqfe (rukne) ke bare mein bata rahe the, Nabi (ﷺ) ka farmaan naql karte huye: "Main chal raha tha ke achanak aasman se ek awaaz suni. Nazar upar uthai to woh farishta jo Hira mein aaya tha, aasman aur zameen ke darmiyan kursi par baitha tha. Main us se dar gaya, wapas aakar kaha: 'Mujhe kambal odha do.' Tab Allah ne yeh ayaat nazil farmaeen: 'Aye kambal odhne wale! Utho aur logon ko dara do'... 'aur buton se door raho.' Iske baad wahi lagatar aur zor se aane lagi."
