Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:While Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was talking about the period of pause in revelation. he said in his narration. "Once while I was walking, all of a sudden I heard a voice from the sky. I looked up and saw to my surprise, the same Angel as had visited me in the cave of Hira.' He was sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I got afraid of him and came back home and said, Wrap me! Wrap me!" So they covered him and then Allah revealed: 'O you, wrapped up! Arise and warn and your Lord magnify, and your garments purify and dessert the idols.' (74.1-5) Abu Salama said, "(Rijz) are the idols which the people of the Pre-Islamic period used to worship." After this the revelation started coming frequently and regularly

Jabir bin Abdullah bataate hain: Jab Allah ke Rasool (SAW) wahi ke rukne ki muddat ke baare mein baat kar rahe the, unhone apni riwayat mein kaha, 'Ek baar jab main chal raha tha, achaanak maine aasman se ek aawaaz sunni. Maine upar dekha aur hairaan reh gaya, wahi Farishta jo Hira ki ghaar mein mere paas aaya tha, aasman aur zameen ke beech ek kursi par baitha tha. Main unse dar gaya aur ghar wapas aaya, aur kaha, "Mujhe chaadaron mein lapet do! Mujhe chaadaron mein lapet do!" To unhone mujhe lapeta, phir Allah ne naazil farmaya: "Aye chaadar odhne wale! Utho aur khabardaar karo, aur apne Rab ki azmat bayaan karo, aur apne kapdon ko paak rakho, aur buton ko chhod do."' (74:1-5) Abu Salama ne kaha, '"Rijz" wo but hain jinki ibaadat jaahiliyat ke daur ke log kiya karte the.' Iske baad wahi zyaada baar aur mustaqil taur par aane lagi.
