Narrated Yahya bin Abi Kathir: I asked Aba Salama bin `Abdur-Rahman about the first Sura revealed of the Qur’an. He replied “O you, wrapped-up (i.e. Al Muddaththir).” I said, “They say it was, ‘Read, in the Name of your Lord Who created,’ (i.e. Surat Al-`Alaq (the Clot).” On that, Abu Salama said, “I asked Jabir bin `Abdullah about that, saying the same as you have said, whereupon he said, ‘I will not tell you except what Allah’s Apostle had told us. Allah’s Apostle said, “I was in seclusion in the cave of Hiram’, and after I completed the limited period of my seclusion. I came down (from the cave) and heard a voice calling me. I looked to my right, but saw nothing. Then I looked up and saw something. So I went to Khadija (the Prophet’s wife) and told her to wrap me up and pour cold water on me. So they wrapped me up and poured cold water on me.” Then, ‘O you, (Muhammad) wrapped up! Arise and warn,’ (Surat Al Muddaththir) was revealed.” (74.1)
Hadith In Arabic Text :
حدثنا يحيى، حدثنا وكيع، عن علي بن المبارك، عن يحيى بن أبي كثير، سألت أبا سلمة بن عبد الرحمن عن أول، ما نزل من القرآن. قال {يا أيها المدثر} قلت يقولون {اقرأ باسم ربك الذي خلق} فقال أبو سلمة سألت جابر بن عبد الله رضى الله عنهما عن ذلك وقلت له مثل الذي قلت فقال جابر لا أحدثك إلا ما حدثنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ” جاورت بحراء، فلما قضيت جواري هبطت فنوديت فنظرت عن يميني فلم أر شيئا، ونظرت عن شمالي فلم أر شيئا، ونظرت أمامي فلم أر شيئا، ونظرت خلفي فلم أر شيئا، فرفعت رأسي فرأيت شيئا، فأتيت خديجة فقلت دثروني وصبوا على ماء باردا قال فدثروني وصبوا على ماء باردا قال فنزلت {يا أيها المدثر * قم فأنذر * وربك فكبر} ”.
