Narrated Aisha:(the wife of the Prophet) The commencement (of the Divine Inspiration) to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in the form of true dreams in his sleep, for he never had a dream but it turned out to be true and clear as the bright daylight. Then he began to like seclusions, so he used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira where he used to worship Allah continuously for many nights before going back to his family to take the necessary provision (of food) for the stay. He come back to (his wife) Khadija again to take his provision (of food) likewise, till one day he received the Guidance while he was in the cave of Hira. An Angel came to him and asked him to read. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "I do not know how to read." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "Then the Angel held me (forcibly) and pressed me so hard that I felt distressed. Then he released me and again asked me to read, and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.' Thereupon he held me again and pressed me for the second time till I felt distressed. He then released me and asked me to read, but again I replied. 'I do not know how to read.' Thereupon he held me for the third time and pressed me till I got distressed, and then he released me and said, 'Read, in the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists), has created man out of a clot, Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous. Who has taught (the writing) by the pen, has taught man that which he knew not." (96.1-5). Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) returned with that experience; and the muscles between his neck and shoulders were trembling till he came upon Khadija (his wife) and said, "Cover me!" They covered him, and when the state of fear was over, he said to Khadija, "O Khadija! What is wrong with me? I was afraid that something bad might happen to me." Then he told her the story. Khadija said, "Nay! But receive the good tidings! By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you, for by Allah, you keep good relations with your Kith and kin, speak the truth, help the poor and the destitute, entertain your guests generously and assist those who are stricken with calamities." Khadija then took him to Waraqa bin Naufil, the son of Khadija's paternal uncle. Waraqa had been converted to Christianity in the Pre-Islamic Period and used to write Arabic and write of the Gospel in Arabic as much as Allah wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said (to Waraqa), "O my cousin! Listen to what your nephew is going to say." Waraqa said, "O my nephew! What have you seen?" The Prophet (ﷺ) then described whatever he had seen. Waraqa said, "This is the same Angel (Gabriel) who was sent to Moses. I wish I were young." He added some other statement. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "Will these people drive me out?" Waraqa said, "Yes, for nobody brought the like of what you have brought, but was treated with hostility. If I were to remain alive till your day (when you start preaching). then I would support you strongly." But a short while later Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was paused (stopped) for a while so that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was very much grieved

حدثنا يحيى، حدثنا الليث، عن عقيل، عن ابن شهاب، حدثني سعيد بن مروان، حدثنا محمد بن عبد العزيز بن ابي رزمة، اخبرنا ابو صالح، سلمويه قال حدثني عبد الله، عن يونس بن يزيد، قال اخبرني ابن شهاب، ان عروة بن الزبير، اخبره ان عايشة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قالت كان اول ما بدي به رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الرويا الصادقة في النوم، فكان لا يرى رويا الا جاءت مثل فلق الصبح، ثم حبب اليه الخلاء فكان يلحق بغار حراء فيتحنث فيه قال والتحنث التعبد الليالي ذوات العدد قبل ان يرجع الى اهله، ويتزود لذلك، ثم يرجع الى خديجة فيتزود بمثلها، حتى فجيه الحق وهو في غار حراء فجاءه الملك فقال اقرا. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ما انا بقاري ". قال " فاخذني فغطني حتى بلغ مني الجهد ثم ارسلني. فقال اقرا. قلت ما انا بقاري. فاخذني فغطني الثانية حتى بلغ مني الجهد، ثم ارسلني. فقال اقرا. قلت ما انا بقاري. فاخذني فغطني الثالثة حتى بلغ مني الجهد ثم ارسلني. فقال {اقرا باسم ربك الذي خلق * خلق الانسان من علق * اقرا وربك الاكرم * الذي علم بالقلم} ". الايات الى قوله {علم الانسان ما لم يعلم} فرجع بها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ترجف بوادره حتى دخل على خديجة فقال " زملوني زملوني ". فزملوه حتى ذهب عنه الروع قال لخديجة " اى خديجة ما لي، لقد خشيت على نفسي ". فاخبرها الخبر. قالت خديجة كلا ابشر، فوالله لا يخزيك الله ابدا، فوالله انك لتصل الرحم، وتصدق الحديث، وتحمل الكل، وتكسب المعدوم، وتقري الضيف، وتعين على نوايب الحق. فانطلقت به خديجة حتى اتت به ورقة بن نوفل وهو ابن عم خديجة اخي ابيها، وكان امرا تنصر في الجاهلية، وكان يكتب الكتاب العربي ويكتب من الانجيل بالعربية ما شاء الله ان يكتب، وكان شيخا كبيرا قد عمي فقالت خديجة يا ابن عم اسمع من ابن اخيك. قال ورقة يا ابن اخي ماذا ترى فاخبره النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم خبر ما راى. فقال ورقة هذا الناموس الذي انزل على موسى، ليتني فيها جذعا، ليتني اكون حيا. ذكر حرفا. قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اومخرجي هم ". قال ورقة نعم لم يات رجل بما جيت به الا اوذي، وان يدركني يومك حيا انصرك نصرا موزرا. ثم لم ينشب ورقة ان توفي، وفتر الوحى، فترة حتى حزن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
