Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ فَتَرَ عَنِّي الْوَحْىُ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَرَفَعْتُ بَصَرِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي جَاءَنِي بِحِرَاءٍ قَاعِدٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Ibn Bukayr narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us, from Uqayl, from Ibn Shihab, who said: I heard Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman say: Jabir ibn Abdullah informed me that he heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Then revelation paused for a time. While I was walking, I heard a voice from the sky. I raised my eyes toward the sky and saw the angel who had come to me at Hira, seated on a chair between heaven and earth.
