Sahih al-Bukhari 3238
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " ثُمَّ فَتَرَ عَنِّي الْوَحْىُ فَتْرَةً، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَرَفَعْتُ بَصَرِي قِبَلَ السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي جَاءَنِي بِحِرَاءٍ قَاعِدٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، فَجُئِثْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى هَوَيْتُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، فَجِئْتُ أَهْلِي فَقُلْتُ زَمِّلُونِي زَمِّلُونِي. فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ} إِلَى {فَاهْجُرْ} " . قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ وَالرِّجْزُ الأَوْثَانُ.
ʿAbd Allah ibn Yusuf informed us: al-Layth informed us, saying: ʿUqayl narrated to me, from Ibn Shihab, who said: I heard Abu Salama say: Jabir ibn ʿAbd Allah (may Allah be pleased with them both) informed me that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘Then revelation paused for a time. As I was walking, I heard a voice from the sky. I raised my gaze toward the sky, and there was the angel who had come to me at Hira, sitting on a chair between heaven and earth. I was terrified by him and fell to the ground. I went to my family and said, “Wrap me up! Wrap me up!” Then Allah, the Exalted, revealed: “O you who are wrapped up,” through “and shun [the idols].”’ Abu Salama said: ‘Al-rijz means idols.’
