Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ عَبْدَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ هُدَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَقُمْتُ فَأَجَفْتُ الْبَابَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فَلَمَّا رُفِّهَ عَنْهُ قَالَ لِي ‏"‏ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ يُقْرِئُكِ السَّلاَمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Adam narrated to us, from ʿAbdah, from Hisham, from Salih ibn Rabiʿah ibn Hudayr, from ʿAishah, who said: Revelation came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while I was with him. I got up and closed the door between him and me. When the experience had passed, he said to me: ‘ʿAishah, Jibril sends you greetings of peace.’

Translation notes
  • The phrase ‘when the experience had passed’ renders the Arabic expression for the lifting of the state accompanying revelation.
