He used to take with him the journey food for that stay and then come back to his wife Khadija to take his food like-wise again for another period to stay; till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. '''The angel came to him in it and asked him to read.''' The Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} replied; I do not know how to read. The Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} added ; The angel caught me forcefully and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it anymore.

He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to him; O my cousin! Listen to the story of your nephew. Waraqa asked; O my nephew! What have you seen? The Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} described whatever he had seen. Waraqa said; This is the same Namus i.e.; Gabriel; '''the Angel who keeps the secrets whom Allah had sent to Moses.''' I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out. Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} asked; Will they turn me out? '''Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said:''' Never did a man come with something similar to what you have brought but was treated with hostility. '''If I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out '''then I would support you strongly.''' But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while and the Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} became so sad as we have heard that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains and every time he went up the top of a mountain in order to throw himself down; Gabriel would appear before him and say; O Muhammad! You are indeed Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} in truth whereupon his heart would become quiet and he would calm down and would return home. '''And whenever the period of the coming of the inspiration used to become long;''' he would do as before; '''but when he used to reach the top of a mountain;''' Gabriel would appear before him and say to him what he had said before. Ibn Abbas said regarding the meaning of: He it is that Cleaves the daybreak from the darkness 6.96 that AlAsbah. means the light of the sun during the day and the light of the moon at night.

#Narrated Abu Huraira: One day while Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} was sitting with the people; a man came to him walking and said; O Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}}. What is Belief? The Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} said; Belief is to believe in Allah; His Angels; His Books; His Apostles; and the meeting with Him; and to believe in the Resurrection. The man asked; O Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} What is Islam? The Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} replied; Islam is to worship Allah and not worship anything besides Him; '''to offer prayers perfectly;''' to pay the compulsory charity i.e. '''Zakat and to fast the month of Ramadan.''' The man again asked; O Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} What is Ihsan i.e. '''perfection or Benevolence ?''' The Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} said; Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him; and if you do not achieve this state of devotion; then take it for granted that Allah sees you. The man further asked; O Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} When will the Hour be established? The Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} replied; The one who is asked about it does not know more than the questioner does; but I will describe to you its portents. When the lady slave gives birth to her mistress; that will be of its portents; when the bare-footed naked people become the chiefs of the people; that will be of its portents. The Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah. Verily; the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah alone. He sends down the rain; and knows that which is in the wombs. 31.34 Then the man left. The Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} said; Call him back to me. They went to call him back but could not see him. The Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} said; That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion. See Hadith No. 47 Vol 1 [[SahihAlBukhari-017-001-7091]]

#Anas Bin Malik reported: Abu Dharr used to relate that the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} said: The roof of my house was cleft when I was in Mecca and Gabriel descended and opened my heart and then washed it with the water of Zamzam. '''He then brought a gold basin full of wisdom and faith and after emptying it into my breast;''' he closed it up. Then taking me by he hand; '''he ascended with me to th heaven;''' '''and when we came to the lowest heaven;''' '''Gabriel said to the guardian of the lowest heaven:''' Open. He asked who was there? He replied. It is Gabriel. He again asked whe he there was someone with him. He replied: Yes; it is Muhammad with me. He was asked if he had been sent for; He Gabriel said: Yes. Then he opened the gate. '''When we ascended the lowest heaven I saw a man seated with parties on his right side and parties on his left side.''' '''When he looked up to his right;''' he laughed and when he looked to his left; he wept. He said: '''Welcome to the righteous apostle and the righteous son.''' I asked Gabriel who he was and he replied: He is Adam {{SAWSYMBOL}} and these parties on his right and on his left are the souls of his descendants. '''Those of them on his right are the inmates of Paradise and the parties which are on his left side are the inmates of Hell;''' '''so when he looked towards his right side;''' he laughed; and when he looked towards his left side; he wept. '''Then Gabriel ascended with me to the second heaven.''' He asked its guardian to open its gate ; '''and its guardian replied in the same way as the guardian of the lowest heaven had said.''' He opened it. Anas Bin Malik said: '''He the Holy Prophet mentioned that he found in the heavens Adam;''' Idris; Jesus; '''Moses and Abraham may peace be on all of them ;''' '''but he did not ascertain as to the nature of their abodes except that he had found Adam in the lowest heaven and Abraham in the sixth heaven.''' When Gabriel and the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} passed by Idris {{SAWSYMBOL}} he said: '''Welcome to the righteous apostle and righteous brother.''' He the narrator said: He then proceeded and said: Who is he? Gabriel replied: It is Idris. Then I passed by Moses {{SAWSYMBOL}} and he said: '''Welcome tothe righteous apostle and righteous brother.''' I said to Gabriel : Who is he? He replied: It is Moses. Then I passed by Jesus and he said: '''Welcome to the righteous apostle and righteous brother.''' I said to Gabriel : Who is he? He replied: Jesus; son of Mary. '''He the Holy Prophet said:''' Then I went to Ibrahim {{SAWSYMBOL}}. He said: '''Welcome to the righteous apostle and righteous son.''' I asked: Who is he? He Gabriel replied: It is Abraham. Ibn Shihab said: Ibn Hazm told me that Ibn Abbas and Abd Habba AlAnsari used to say that the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} said: Thereafter he ascended with me till I was taken to such a height where I heard the scraping of the pens. Ibn Hazm and Anas told that the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} said: Allah then made fifty prayers obligatory for my Ummah and I returned with that and passed by Moses. Moses; {{SAWSYMBOL}} said: What has thy Lord enjoined on thy people? I said: Fifty prayers have been made obligatory on them. Moses {{SAWSYMBOL}} said: Return to thy Lord; for thy Ummah would not be able to bear this burden. Then I came back to my Lord and He remitted a portion out of thut. I then again went to Moses {{SAWSYMBOL}} and informed him about it He said: Return to thy Lord; for thy Ummah shall not be able to bear this burden. I then went back to my Lord and He said: They are five and at the same time fifty; and what has been said will not be changed. I then returned to Moses and he said: Go back to thy Lord. whereupon I said: I feel ashamed of my Lord. Gabriel then travelled with me till we came to the farthest lote-tree Many a colour had covered it which I do not know. '''Then I was admitted to Paradise and saw in it domes of pearls;''' and its soil of musk. [[SahihMuslim-017-001-18704]]

#Anas Bin Malik reported on the authority of Malik Bin Sa sa; perhaps a person of his tribe; that the Prophet of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} said: I was near the House i. e. Kabah in a state between sleep and wakefulness when I heard someone say: He is the third among the two persons. Then he came to me and took me with him. Then a golden basin containing the water of Zamzam was brought to me and my heart was opened up to such and such part.

Then the Bait AlMamur was raised up to me. I said: O Gabriel! what is this? He replied: It is the Bait AlMamur. Seventy thousand angels enter into it daily and; after they come out; they never return again. Two vessels were then brought to me. The first one contained wine and the second one contained milk; and both of them were placed before me. I chose milk. It was said: '''You did right.''' '''Allah will guide rightly through you your Ummah on the natural course.''' Then fifty prayers daily were made obligatory for me. And then he narrated the rest of the hadith to the end.

#It is narrated on the authority of Anas Bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} said: I was brought AlBuraq Who is an animal white and long; larger than a donkey but smaller than a mule; who would place his hoof a distance equal to the range of version. '''I mounted it and came to the Temple Bait Maqdis in Jerusalem ;''' then tethered it to the ring used by the prophets. I entered the Masjid and prayed two rakahs in it; and then came out and Gabriel brought me a vessel of wine and a vessel of milk. I chose the milk; and Gabriel said: You have chosen the natural thing. Then he took me to heaven. Gabriel then asked the gate of heaven to be opened and he was asked who he was. He replied: Gabriel. He was again asked: Who is with you? He Gabriel said: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? Gabriel replied: He has indeed been sent for. And the door of the heaven was opened for us and lo! we saw Adam. He welcomed me and prayed for my good. Then we ascended to the second heaven. Gabriel {{SAWSYMBOL}} asked the door of heaven to be opened ; and he was asked who he was. He answered: Gabriel; and was again asked: Who is with you? He replied: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The gate was opened. When I entered Isa Bin Maryam and Yahya Bin Zakariya peace be upon both of them ; cousins from the maternal side. welcomed me and prayed for my good Then I was taken to the third heaven and Gabriel asked for the opening of the door. He was asked: Who are you? He replied: Gabriel. He was again asked: Who is with you? He replied Muhammad {{SAWSYMBOL}}. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied He has indeed been sent for.

He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The gate was opened for us; and lo! Idris was there. He welcomed me and prayed for my well-being About him Allah; the Exalted and the Glorious; has said: We elevated him Idris to the exalted position Quran xix. 57. Then he ascended with us to the fifth heaven and Gabriel asked for the gate to be opened. It was said: Who is he? He replied Gabriel. It was again said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad. It was said Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The gate was opened for us and then I was with Harun Aaron-peace of Allah be upon him.

The gate was opened for us and there I found Ibrahim Abraham {{SAWSYMBOL}} reclining against the Bait AlMamur and there enter into it seventy thousand angels every day; never to visit this place again. Then I was taken to Sidrat AlMuntaha whose leaves were like elephant ears and its fruit like big earthenware vessels. And when it was covered by the Command of Allah; it underwent such a change that none amongst the creation has the power to praise its beauty. Then Allah revealed to me a revelation and He made obligatory for me fifty prayers every day and night. Then I went down to Moses {{SAWSYMBOL}} and he said: What has your Lord enjoined upon your Ummah? I said: Fifty prayers. He said: '''Return to thy Lord and beg for reduction in the number of prayers ;''' '''for your community shallnot be able to bear this burden.''' as I have put to test the children of Israil and tried them and found them too weak to bear such a heavy burden. He the Holy Prophet said: I went back to my Lord and said: My Lord; make things lighter for my Ummah. The Lord reduced five prayers for me. I went down to Moses and said. The Lord reduced five prayers for me; He said: '''Verily thy Ummah shall not be able to bear this burden;''' return to thy Lord and ask Him to make things lighter. I then kept going back and forth between my Lord Blessed and Exalted and Moses; till He said: There are five prayers every day and night. O Muhammad; each being credited as ten; so that makes fifty prayers. He who intends to do a good deed and does not do it will have a good deed recorded for him; and if he does it; it will be recorded for him as ten; '''whereas he who intends to do an evil deed and does not do;''' it will not be recorded for him; and if he does it; '''only one evil deed will be recorded.''' I then came down and when I came to Moses and informed him; he said: Go back to thy Lord and ask Him to make things lighter.

#It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} said: Ask me about matters pertaining to religion ; but they the Companions of the Holy Prophet were too much overawed out of profound respect for him to ask him anything. In the meanwhile a man came there; and sat near his knees and said: Messenger of Allah; what Allslam is? -to which he the Holy Prophet replied: You must not associate anything with Allah; and establish prayer; pay the poor-rate Zakat and observe the fasts of Ramadan. He said: You have told the truth. He again said: Messenger of Allah; what AlIman the faith is? He the Holy Prophet said: That you affirm your faith in Allah; His angels; His Books; His meeting; His Apostles; and that you believe in Resurrection and that you believe in Qadr Divine Decree in all its entirety; He the inquirer said: You have told the truth. He again said: Messenger of Allah; what AlIhsan is? Upon this he the Holy Prophet said: '''AlIhsan implies that you fear Allah as if you are seeing Him;''' and though you see Him not; verily He is seeing you. He the inquirer said: You have told the truth. He the inquirer said: '''When there would be the hour of Doom ?''' Upon this he the HolyProphet said: '''The one who is being asked about it is no better informed than the inquirer himself.''' I; however; narrate some of its signs and these are : when you see a slave woman giving birth to her master - that is one of the signs of Doom ; when you see barefooted; naked; '''deaf and dumb ignorant and foolish persons as the rulers of the earth - that is one of the signs of the Doom.''' And when you see the shepherds of black camels exult in buildings - that is one of the signs of Doom. '''The Doom is one of the five things wrapped in the unseen.''' No one knows them except Allah. Then the Holy Prophet recited the folowing verse : Verily Allah! '''with Him alone is the knowledge of the hour and He it is Who sends down the rain and knows that which is in the wombs and no person knows whatsoever he shall earn on morrow '''and a person knows not in whatsoever land he shall die.''' Verily Allah is Knowing; Aware. He the narrator; Abu Huraira said: Then the person stood up an made his way. The Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} said: Bring him back to me. He was searched for; but they the Companions of the Holy Prophet could not find him. The Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} thereupon said: He was Gabriel and he wanted to teach you things pertaining to religion when you did not ask them yourselves. [[SahihMuslim-017-001-18389]]

#Narrated Aisha: the mother of the faithful believers The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} was in the form of good dreams which came true like bright daylight; and then the love of seclusion was bestowed upon him. '''He used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira where he used to worship Allah alone continuously for many days before his desire to see his family.''' '''He used to take with him the journey food for the stay and then come back to his wife Khadija to take his food likewise again '''till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira.''' The angel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} replied; I do not know how to read. The Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} added; The angel caught me forcefully and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read and I replied; I do not know how to read. Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read but again I replied; I do not know how to read or what shall I read ? Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me; and then released me and said; Read in the name of your Lord; who has created all that exists ; created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous. 96.1; 96.2; 96.3 Then Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} returned with the Inspiration and with his heart beating severely. Then he went to Khadija bint Khuwailid and said; Cover me! Cover me! '''They covered him till his fear was over and after that he told her everything that had happened and said;''' '''I fear that something may happen to me.''' Khadija replied; Never! By Allah; Allah will never disgrace you. You keep good relations with your kith and kin; '''help the poor and the destitute;''' serve your guests generously and assist the deserving calamity-afflicted ones. Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa Bin Nawfal Bin Asad Bin Abdul Uzza; who; during the pre-Islamic Period became a Christian and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He would write from the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah wished him to write. '''He was an old man and had lost his eyesight.''' Khadija said to Waraqa; Listen to the story of your nephew; O my cousin! Waraqa asked; O my nephew! What have you seen? Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} described whatever he had seen. Waraqa said; This is the same one who keeps the secrets angel Gabriel whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out. Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} asked; Will they drive me out? Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said; '''Anyone man who came with something similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility;''' and if I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly.

#Narrated Aisha: the wife of the Prophet The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} 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.

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.

#Umar Bin AlKhattab Allah be pleased with him reported: When Allah Apostle {{SAWSYMBOL}} kept himself away from his wives; I entered the Masjid; and found people striking the ground with pebblesand saying: Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} has divorced his wives; and that was before they were commanded to observe seclusion Umar said to himself: I must find this actual position today. So I went to Aisha Allah be pleased with her and said to her : Daughter of Abu Bakr; have you gone to the extent of giving trouble to Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} ? Thereupon she said: Son of AlKhattab; you have nothing to do with me; and I have nothing to do with you. You should look to your own receptacle. He Umar said: I visited Hafsa daughter of Umar; and said to her: Hafsa; the news has reached me that you cause Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} trouble. You know that Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} does not love you; and had I not been your father he would have divorced you. '''On hearing this she wept bitterly.''' I said to her: Where is Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} ? Shesaid: He is in the attic room. I went in and found Rabah; the servant of Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} ; sitting on the thresholds of the window dangling his feet on the hollow wood of the date-palm with the help of which Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} climbed to the apartment and came down. I cried: 0 Rabah; seek permission for me from Allah Messenger way {{SAWSYMBOL}}. Rabah cast a glance at the apartment and then looked toward me but said nothing.

I then raised my voice and said: 0 Rabah; seek permission for me from Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}}. I think that Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} is under the impression that I have come for the sake of Hafsa. By Allah; if Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} would command me to strike her neck; '''I would certainly strike her neck.''' I raised my voice and he pointed me to climb up and get into his apartment. I visited Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} ; '''and he was lying on a mat.''' I sat down and he drew up his lower garment over him and he had nothing else over him; and that the mat had left its marks on his sides. I looked with my eyes in the store room of Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}}. I found only a handful of barley equal to one sa and an equal quantity of the leaves of Mimosa Flava placed in the nook of the cell; and a semi-tanned leather bag hanging in one side ; '''and I was moved to tears on seeing this extremely austere living of the Holy Piophet ;''' and he said: Ibn AlKhattab; '''what wakes you weep?''' I said: Apostle of Allah; why should I not shed tears? This mat has left its marks on your sides and I do not see in your store room except these few things that I have seen; Ceasar and Closroes are leading their lives in plenty whereas you are Allah Messenger. His chosen one; and that is your store! He said: Ibn AlKhattab; arent you satisfied that for us there should be the prosperity of the Hereafter; and for them there should be the prosperity of this world? I said: Yes. '''And as I had entered I had seen the signs of anger on his face;''' and I therefore; said: Messenger of Allah; '''what trouble do you feel from your wives;''' and if youhave divorced them; verily Allah is with you; His angels; Gabriel; Mikail; I and Abu Bakr and the believers are with you. And seldom I talked and which I uttered on that day I hoped that Allah would testify to my words that I uttered. And so the verse of option Ayat AlTakhyir was revealed. Maybe his Lord; if he divorce you; will give him in your place wives better than you... Ixv. 5. And if you back up one another against him; then surely Allah is his Patron; and Gabriel and the righteous believers; and the angels after that are the aidera lvi. 4. And it was Aisha; daughter of Abu Bakr; and Hafsa who had prevailed upon all the wives of Allah Prophet way {{SAWSYMBOL}} for pressing them for mote money. I said: Messenger of Allah; have you divorced them? He said: No. I said: Messenger of Allah; I entered the Masjid and found the Muslims playing with pebbles absorbed in thought and saying: Allah Messenger has divorced his wives. Should I get down and inform there that you have not divorced them? He said: Yes; if you so like. And I went on talking to him until I found the signs of anger disappeared on his face and his seriousness was changed to a happy mood and as a result thereof his face had the natural tranquillity upon it and he laughed and his teeth were the most charming among the teeth of all people. Then Allah Apostle {{SAWSYMBOL}} climbed down and I also climbed down and catching hold of the wood of the palm-tree and Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} came down with such ease as if he was walking on the ground; not touching anything with his hand to get support. I said: Messenger of Allah; you remained in your apartment for twenty-nine days. He said: At times the month consists of twenty-nine days. I stood at the door of the Masjid and I called out at the top of my voice: The Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} has not divorced his wives and it was on this occasion that this verse was revealed: And if any matter pertaining to peace or alarm comes within their ken; they broadcast it; whereas; if they would refer it to the Apostle and those who have been entrusted with authority amongst them; those of them who are engaged in obtaining intelligence would indeed know what to do with it iv 83. And it was I who understood this matter; and Allah revealed the verse pertaining to option given to the Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} in regard to the retaining or divorcing of his wives.

#Abu Saeed Khudri reported that Muawiya went to a circle in the Masjid and said: What makes you sit here? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah. He said: I adjure you by Allah to tell me whether you are sitting here for this very purpose ? They said: By Allah; we are sitting here for this very purpose. Thereupon; he said: I have not demanded you to take an oath; because of any allegation against you and none of my rank in the eye of Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} is the narrator of so few ahadith as I am. The fact is that Allah Messenger {{SAWSYMBOL}} went out to the circle of his Companions and said: What makes you sit? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah and to praise Him for He guided us to the path of Islam and He conferred favours upon us. Thereupon he adjured by Allah and asked if that only was the purpose of their sitting there. They said: By Allah; we are not sitting here but for this very purpose; whereupon he the Messenger said: '''I am not asking you to take an oath because of any allegation against you but for the fact that Gabriel came to me and he informed me that Allah;''' the Exalted and Glorious; was talking to the angels about your magnificence. [[SahihMuslim-017-001-19520]]

#It was narrated that Abu Huraira and Abu Dharr said: The Messenger of Allah SAWSYMOBOL would sit among his Companions and if a stranger came; he would not know which of them was he the Prophet SAWSYMOBOL until he asked. So we suggested to the Messenger of Allah SAWSYMOBOL that we should make a dais for him so that any stranger would know him if he came to him. So we built for him a bench made of clay on which he used to sit. One day we were sitting and the Messenger of Allah SAWSYMOBOL was sitting in his spot; when a man came along who was the most handsome and good-smelling of all people; and it was as if no dirt had ever touched his garments. He came near the edge of the rug and greeted him; saying: Peace be upon you; O Muhammad! He returned the greeting; and he said: Shall I come closer; O Muhammad? He came a little closer; and he kept telling him to come closer; until he put his hands on the knees of the Messenger of Allah SAWSYMOBOL. He said: O Muhammad; tell me; what is Islam? He said: Islam means to worship Allah and not associate anything with Him; to establish Salah; to pay Zakah; to perform Hajj to the House; and to fast Ramadan. He said: If I do that; will I have submitted be a Muslim ? He said: Yes. He said: You have spoken the truth; '''we found it odd.''' He said: O Muhammad; tell me; what is faith? He said: To believe in Allah [SWT]; His Angels; the Book; the Prophets; and to believe in the Divine Decree. He said: If I do that; will I have believed? The Messenger of Allah SAWSYMOBOL said: Yes. He said: You have spoken the truth. He said: O Muhammad; tell me; what is AlIhsan? He said: To worship Allah [SWT] as if you can see Him; for although you cannot see Him; He can see you. He said: You have spoken the truth. He said: O Muhammad; tell me about the Hour. He lowered his head and did not answer. Then he repeated the question; and he did not answer. Then he repeated the question a third time and he did not answer. Then he raised his head and said: The one who is being asked does not know more than the one who is asking. But it has signs; by which it may be known. When you see the herdsmen competing in building tall buildings; when you see the barefoot and naked ruling the Earth; '''when you see a woman giving birth to her mistress.''' Five things which no one knows except Allah [SWT]. Verily; Allah; with Him alone is the knowledge of the Hour up to His saying: Verily; Allah is All-Knower; All-Aware of things. Then he said: No; by the One who sent Muhammad with the truth; with guidance and glad tidings; I did not know him more than any man among you. That was Jibril; peace be upon you; who came down in the form of Dihyah AlKalbi. [[SunanAlNasai-017-001-11887]]

Most Postive Sentiment in Hadith Mentioned Gabriel

Positive Sentiment may indicate a Permissible, Encouraged Actions or Sunnah

  1. Ibn Abbas reported with regard to the words of Allah; Great and Glorious: Move not thy tongue therewith Ixxv. 16 that when Gabriel brought revelation to him the Holy Prophet he moved his tongue and lips with a view to committing it to memory instantly. This was something hard for him and it was visible from his face. Then Allah; the Exalted. revealed this a Move not thy tongue therewith to make haste in memorising it. Surely on us rests the collecting of it and the reciting of it ixxv. 16 ; i. e. Verily it rests with Us that We would preserve it in your heart and enable you to recite it You would recite it when We would recite it and so follow its recitation; and He Allah said: We revealed it; so listen to it attentively. Verily its exposition rests with Us. i. e. We would make it deliver by your tongue. So when Gabriel came to him to the Holy Prophet ; he kept silence; and when he went away he recited as Allah had promised him. SahihMuslim-017-001-23475
  2. Narrated Aisha: the mother of the faithful believers The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah Messenger ﷺ was in the form of good dreams which came true like bright daylight; and then the love of seclusion was bestowed upon him. He used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira where he used to worship Allah alone continuously for many days before his desire to see his family. He used to take with him the journey food for the stay and then come back to his wife Khadija to take his food likewise again till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet ﷺ replied; I do not know how to read. The Prophet ﷺ added; The angel caught me forcefully and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read and I replied; I do not know how to read. Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read but again I replied; I do not know how to read or what shall I read ? Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me; and then released me and said; Read in the name of your Lord; who has created all that exists ; created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous. 96.1; 96.2; 96.3 Then Allah Messenger ﷺ returned with the Inspiration and with his heart beating severely. Then he went to Khadija bint Khuwailid and said; Cover me! Cover me! They covered him till his fear was over and after that he told her everything that had happened and said; I fear that something may happen to me. Khadija replied; Never! By Allah; Allah will never disgrace you. You keep good relations with your kith and kin; help the poor and the destitute; serve your guests generously and assist the deserving calamity-afflicted ones. Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa Bin Nawfal Bin Asad Bin Abdul Uzza; who; during the pre-Islamic Period became a Christian and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He would write from the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to Waraqa; Listen to the story of your nephew; O my cousin! Waraqa asked; O my nephew! What have you seen? Allah Messenger ﷺ described whatever he had seen. Waraqa said; This is the same one who keeps the secrets angel Gabriel whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out. Allah Messenger ﷺ asked; Will they drive me out? Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said; Anyone man who came with something similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly. But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6059
  3. Abdullah Bin Amr Bin AlAs reported: Verily the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the words of Allah; the Great and Glorious; that Ibrahim uttered. My Lord! lo! they have led many of mankind astray: But whoso followeth me; he verily is of me AlQuran; xiv. 35 and Jesus ﷺ said: If thou punisheth them; lo! they are Thy slaves; and if Thou forgiveth them-verily Thou art the Mighty; the Wise AlQuran; v 117. Then he raised his hands and said: O Lord; my Ummah; my Ummah; and wept; so Allah the High and the Exalted said: O Gabriel; go to Muhammad though your Lord knows it fully well and ask him: What makes thee weep? So Gabriel ﷺ came to him and asked him; and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed him what he had said though Allah knew it fully well. Upon this Allah said: O Gabriel; go to Muhammad and say: Verily We will please thee with regard to your Ummah and would not displease thee. SahihMuslim-017-001-18789
  4. Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ was the most generous person; and he used to become more so generous particularly in the month of Ramadan because Gabriel used to meet him every night of the month of Ramadan till it elapsed. Allah Messenger ﷺ used to recite the Quran for him. When Gabriel met him; he used to become more generous than the fast wind in doing good. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-3264
  5. Narrated Aisha: The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah Messenger ﷺ was in the form of good righteous true dreams in his sleep. He never had a dream but that it came true like bright day light. He used to go in seclusion the cave of Hira where he used to worship Allah Alone continuously for many days nights. He used to take with him the journey food for that stay and then come back to his wife Khadija to take his food like-wise again for another period to stay; till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him in it and asked him to read. The Prophet ﷺ replied; I do not know how to read. The Prophet ﷺ added ; The angel caught me forcefully and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and again asked me to read; and I replied; I do not know how to read; whereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and asked me again to read; but again I replied; I do not know how to read or; what shall I read?. Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me and then released me and said; Read: In the Name of your Lord; Who has created all that exists. Has created man from a clot. Read and Your Lord is Most Generous...up to.......that which he knew not. 96.15 Then Allah Messenger ﷺ returned with the Inspiration; his neck muscles twitching with terror till he entered upon Khadija and said; Cover me! Cover me! They covered him till his fear was over and then he said; O Khadija; what is wrong with me? Then he told her everything that had happened and said; I fear that something may happen to me. Khadija said; Never! But have the glad tidings; for by Allah; Allah will never disgrace you as you keep good reactions with your Kith and kin; speak the truth; help the poor and the destitute; serve your guest generously and assist the deserving; calamityafflicted ones. Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa Bin Nawfal Bin Asad Bin Abdul Uzza Bin Qusai. Waraqa was the son of her paternal uncle; i.e.; her father brother; who during the Pre-Islamic Period became a Christian and used to write the Arabic writing and used to write of the Gospels in Arabic as much as Allah wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to him; O my cousin! Listen to the story of your nephew. Waraqa asked; O my nephew! What have you seen? The Prophet ﷺ described whatever he had seen. Waraqa said; This is the same Namus i.e.; Gabriel; the Angel who keeps the secrets whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out. Allah Messenger ﷺ asked; Will they turn me out? Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said: Never did a man come with something similar to what you have brought but was treated with hostility. If I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly. But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while and the Prophet ﷺ became so sad as we have heard that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains and every time he went up the top of a mountain in order to throw himself down; Gabriel would appear before him and say; O Muhammad! You are indeed Allah Messenger ﷺ in truth whereupon his heart would become quiet and he would calm down and would return home. And whenever the period of the coming of the inspiration used to become long; he would do as before; but when he used to reach the top of a mountain; Gabriel would appear before him and say to him what he had said before. Ibn Abbas said regarding the meaning of: He it is that Cleaves the daybreak from the darkness 6.96 that AlAsbah. means the light of the sun during the day and the light of the moon at night. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-1618
  6. Narrated Abu Huraira: One day while Allah Messenger ﷺ was sitting with the people; a man came to him walking and said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ. What is Belief? The Prophet ﷺ said; Belief is to believe in Allah; His Angels; His Books; His Apostles; and the meeting with Him; and to believe in the Resurrection. The man asked; O Allah Messenger ﷺ What is Islam? The Prophet ﷺ replied; Islam is to worship Allah and not worship anything besides Him; to offer prayers perfectly; to pay the compulsory charity i.e. Zakat and to fast the month of Ramadan. The man again asked; O Allah Messenger ﷺ What is Ihsan i.e. perfection or Benevolence ? The Prophet ﷺ said; Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him; and if you do not achieve this state of devotion; then take it for granted that Allah sees you. The man further asked; O Allah Messenger ﷺ When will the Hour be established? The Prophet ﷺ replied; The one who is asked about it does not know more than the questioner does; but I will describe to you its portents. When the lady slave gives birth to her mistress; that will be of its portents; when the bare-footed naked people become the chiefs of the people; that will be of its portents. The Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah. Verily; the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah alone. He sends down the rain; and knows that which is in the wombs. 31.34 Then the man left. The Prophet ﷺ said; Call him back to me. They went to call him back but could not see him. The Prophet ﷺ said; That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion. See Hadith No. 47 Vol 1 SahihAlBukhari-017-001-7091
  7. Anas Bin Malik reported: Abu Dharr used to relate that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The roof of my house was cleft when I was in Mecca and Gabriel descended and opened my heart and then washed it with the water of Zamzam. He then brought a gold basin full of wisdom and faith and after emptying it into my breast; he closed it up. Then taking me by he hand; he ascended with me to th heaven; and when we came to the lowest heaven; Gabriel said to the guardian of the lowest heaven: Open. He asked who was there? He replied. It is Gabriel. He again asked whe he there was someone with him. He replied: Yes; it is Muhammad with me. He was asked if he had been sent for; He Gabriel said: Yes. Then he opened the gate. When we ascended the lowest heaven I saw a man seated with parties on his right side and parties on his left side. When he looked up to his right; he laughed and when he looked to his left; he wept. He said: Welcome to the righteous apostle and the righteous son. I asked Gabriel who he was and he replied: He is Adam ﷺ and these parties on his right and on his left are the souls of his descendants. Those of them on his right are the inmates of Paradise and the parties which are on his left side are the inmates of Hell; so when he looked towards his right side; he laughed; and when he looked towards his left side; he wept. Then Gabriel ascended with me to the second heaven. He asked its guardian to open its gate ; and its guardian replied in the same way as the guardian of the lowest heaven had said. He opened it. Anas Bin Malik said: He the Holy Prophet mentioned that he found in the heavens Adam; Idris; Jesus; Moses and Abraham may peace be on all of them ; but he did not ascertain as to the nature of their abodes except that he had found Adam in the lowest heaven and Abraham in the sixth heaven. When Gabriel and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by Idris ﷺ he said: Welcome to the righteous apostle and righteous brother. He the narrator said: He then proceeded and said: Who is he? Gabriel replied: It is Idris. Then I passed by Moses ﷺ and he said: Welcome tothe righteous apostle and righteous brother. I said to Gabriel : Who is he? He replied: It is Moses. Then I passed by Jesus and he said: Welcome to the righteous apostle and righteous brother. I said to Gabriel : Who is he? He replied: Jesus; son of Mary. He the Holy Prophet said: Then I went to Ibrahim ﷺ. He said: Welcome to the righteous apostle and righteous son. I asked: Who is he? He Gabriel replied: It is Abraham. Ibn Shihab said: Ibn Hazm told me that Ibn Abbas and Abd Habba AlAnsari used to say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Thereafter he ascended with me till I was taken to such a height where I heard the scraping of the pens. Ibn Hazm and Anas told that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah then made fifty prayers obligatory for my Ummah and I returned with that and passed by Moses. Moses; ﷺ said: What has thy Lord enjoined on thy people? I said: Fifty prayers have been made obligatory on them. Moses ﷺ said: Return to thy Lord; for thy Ummah would not be able to bear this burden. Then I came back to my Lord and He remitted a portion out of thut. I then again went to Moses ﷺ and informed him about it He said: Return to thy Lord; for thy Ummah shall not be able to bear this burden. I then went back to my Lord and He said: They are five and at the same time fifty; and what has been said will not be changed. I then returned to Moses and he said: Go back to thy Lord. whereupon I said: I feel ashamed of my Lord. Gabriel then travelled with me till we came to the farthest lote-tree Many a colour had covered it which I do not know. Then I was admitted to Paradise and saw in it domes of pearls; and its soil of musk. SahihMuslim-017-001-18704
  8. Anas Bin Malik reported on the authority of Malik Bin Sa sa; perhaps a person of his tribe; that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: I was near the House i. e. Kabah in a state between sleep and wakefulness when I heard someone say: He is the third among the two persons. Then he came to me and took me with him. Then a golden basin containing the water of Zamzam was brought to me and my heart was opened up to such and such part. Qatada said: I asked him who was with me i e. the narrator and what he meant by such and such part. He replied: It means that it was opened up to the lower part of his abdomen Then the hadith continues : My heart was extracted and it was washed with the water of Zamzam and then it was restored in its original position; after which it was filled with faith and wisdom. I was then brought a white beast which is called AlBuraq; bigger than a donkey and smaller than a mule. Its stride was as long as the eye could reach. I was mounted on it; and then we went forth till we reached the lowest heaven. Gabriel asked for the gate to be opened; and it was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was again said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad ﷺ. It was said: Has he been sent for? He Gabriel said: Yes. He the Prophet said: Then the gate was opened for us and it was said : Welcome unto him! His is a blessed arrival. Then we came to Adam ﷺ. And he the narrator narrated the whole account of the hadith. The Holy Prophet observed that he met Jesus in the second heaven; Yahya peace be on both of them in the third heaven; Yousif in the third; Idris in the fourth; Harun in the fifth peace and blessings of Allah be upon them. Then we travelled on till we reached the sixth heaven and came to Moses ﷺ and I greeted him and he said: Welcome unto righteous brother and righteous prophet. And when I passed by him he wept; and a voice was heard saying: What makes thee weep? He said: My Lord; he is a young man whom Thou hast sent after me as a prophet and his followers will enter Paradise in greater numbers than my followers. Then we travelled on till we reached the seventh heaven and I came to Ibrahim. He the narrator narrat- ed in this hadith that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ told that he saw four rivers which flowed from the root of the lote-tree of the farthest limits : two manifest rivers and two hidden rivers. I said: Gabriel! what are these rivers? He replied: The two hidden rivers are the rivers of Paradise; and as regards the two manifest ones; they are the Nile and the Euphrates. Then the Bait AlMamur was raised up to me. I said: O Gabriel! what is this? He replied: It is the Bait AlMamur. Seventy thousand angels enter into it daily and; after they come out; they never return again. Two vessels were then brought to me. The first one contained wine and the second one contained milk; and both of them were placed before me. I chose milk. It was said: You did right. Allah will guide rightly through you your Ummah on the natural course. Then fifty prayers daily were made obligatory for me. And then he narrated the rest of the hadith to the end. SahihMuslim-017-001-18705
  9. It was narrated that Aisha said: Hardly anyone every remembered the Messenger of Allah cursing anyone; and if he had recently met with Jibril and studied the Quran with him; he was more generous in doing good than the blowing with. Sahih Abu Abdulrahman AlNasai said; This is a mistake; and what is correct is the previous narration of Yunus Bin Yazid; he put this narration in the Hadith. SunanAlNasai-017-001-15069

Most Negative Sentiment in Hadith Mentioned Gabriel

Negative Sentiment may indicate a Forbidden, Disliked, or Discouraged Actions

  1. It is narrated on the authority of Anas Bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I was brought AlBuraq Who is an animal white and long; larger than a donkey but smaller than a mule; who would place his hoof a distance equal to the range of version. I mounted it and came to the Temple Bait Maqdis in Jerusalem ; then tethered it to the ring used by the prophets. I entered the Masjid and prayed two rakahs in it; and then came out and Gabriel brought me a vessel of wine and a vessel of milk. I chose the milk; and Gabriel said: You have chosen the natural thing. Then he took me to heaven. Gabriel then asked the gate of heaven to be opened and he was asked who he was. He replied: Gabriel. He was again asked: Who is with you? He Gabriel said: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? Gabriel replied: He has indeed been sent for. And the door of the heaven was opened for us and lo! we saw Adam. He welcomed me and prayed for my good. Then we ascended to the second heaven. Gabriel ﷺ asked the door of heaven to be opened ; and he was asked who he was. He answered: Gabriel; and was again asked: Who is with you? He replied: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The gate was opened. When I entered Isa Bin Maryam and Yahya Bin Zakariya peace be upon both of them ; cousins from the maternal side. welcomed me and prayed for my good Then I was taken to the third heaven and Gabriel asked for the opening of the door. He was asked: Who are you? He replied: Gabriel. He was again asked: Who is with you? He replied Muhammad ﷺ. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied He has indeed been sent for. The gate was opened for us and I saw Yousif peace of Allah be upon him who had been given half of world beauty. He welcomed me prayed for my well-being. Then he ascended with us to the fourth heaven. Gabriel ﷺ asked for the gate to be opened; and it was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was again said: Who is with you? He said: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The gate was opened for us; and lo! Idris was there. He welcomed me and prayed for my well-being About him Allah; the Exalted and the Glorious; has said: We elevated him Idris to the exalted position Quran xix. 57. Then he ascended with us to the fifth heaven and Gabriel asked for the gate to be opened. It was said: Who is he? He replied Gabriel. It was again said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad. It was said Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The gate was opened for us and then I was with Harun Aaron-peace of Allah be upon him. He welcomed me prayed for my well-being. Then I was taken to the sixth heaven. Gabriel ﷺ asked for the door to be opened. It was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The gate was opened for us and there I was with Mousa Moses ﷺ He welcomed me and prayed for my well-being. Then I was taken up to the seventh heaven. Gabriel asked the gate to be opened. It was said: Who is he? He said: Gabriel It was said. Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad ﷺ. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The gate was opened for us and there I found Ibrahim Abraham ﷺ reclining against the Bait AlMamur and there enter into it seventy thousand angels every day; never to visit this place again. Then I was taken to Sidrat AlMuntaha whose leaves were like elephant ears and its fruit like big earthenware vessels. And when it was covered by the Command of Allah; it underwent such a change that none amongst the creation has the power to praise its beauty. Then Allah revealed to me a revelation and He made obligatory for me fifty prayers every day and night. Then I went down to Moses ﷺ and he said: What has your Lord enjoined upon your Ummah? I said: Fifty prayers. He said: Return to thy Lord and beg for reduction in the number of prayers ; for your community shallnot be able to bear this burden. as I have put to test the children of Israil and tried them and found them too weak to bear such a heavy burden. He the Holy Prophet said: I went back to my Lord and said: My Lord; make things lighter for my Ummah. The Lord reduced five prayers for me. I went down to Moses and said. The Lord reduced five prayers for me; He said: Verily thy Ummah shall not be able to bear this burden; return to thy Lord and ask Him to make things lighter. I then kept going back and forth between my Lord Blessed and Exalted and Moses; till He said: There are five prayers every day and night. O Muhammad; each being credited as ten; so that makes fifty prayers. He who intends to do a good deed and does not do it will have a good deed recorded for him; and if he does it; it will be recorded for him as ten; whereas he who intends to do an evil deed and does not do; it will not be recorded for him; and if he does it; only one evil deed will be recorded. I then came down and when I came to Moses and informed him; he said: Go back to thy Lord and ask Him to make things lighter. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: I returned to my Lord until I felt ashamed before Him. SahihMuslim-017-001-18700
  2. It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Ask me about matters pertaining to religion ; but they the Companions of the Holy Prophet were too much overawed out of profound respect for him to ask him anything. In the meanwhile a man came there; and sat near his knees and said: Messenger of Allah; what Allslam is? -to which he the Holy Prophet replied: You must not associate anything with Allah; and establish prayer; pay the poor-rate Zakat and observe the fasts of Ramadan. He said: You have told the truth. He again said: Messenger of Allah; what AlIman the faith is? He the Holy Prophet said: That you affirm your faith in Allah; His angels; His Books; His meeting; His Apostles; and that you believe in Resurrection and that you believe in Qadr Divine Decree in all its entirety; He the inquirer said: You have told the truth. He again said: Messenger of Allah; what AlIhsan is? Upon this he the Holy Prophet said: AlIhsan implies that you fear Allah as if you are seeing Him; and though you see Him not; verily He is seeing you. He the inquirer said: You have told the truth. He the inquirer said: When there would be the hour of Doom ? Upon this he the HolyProphet said: The one who is being asked about it is no better informed than the inquirer himself. I; however; narrate some of its signs and these are : when you see a slave woman giving birth to her master - that is one of the signs of Doom ; when you see barefooted; naked; deaf and dumb ignorant and foolish persons as the rulers of the earth - that is one of the signs of the Doom. And when you see the shepherds of black camels exult in buildings - that is one of the signs of Doom. The Doom is one of the five things wrapped in the unseen. No one knows them except Allah. Then the Holy Prophet recited the folowing verse : Verily Allah! with Him alone is the knowledge of the hour and He it is Who sends down the rain and knows that which is in the wombs and no person knows whatsoever he shall earn on morrow and a person knows not in whatsoever land he shall die. Verily Allah is Knowing; Aware. He the narrator; Abu Huraira said: Then the person stood up an made his way. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Bring him back to me. He was searched for; but they the Companions of the Holy Prophet could not find him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ thereupon said: He was Gabriel and he wanted to teach you things pertaining to religion when you did not ask them yourselves. SahihMuslim-017-001-18389
  3. Narrated Aisha: the mother of the faithful believers The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah Messenger ﷺ was in the form of good dreams which came true like bright daylight; and then the love of seclusion was bestowed upon him. He used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira where he used to worship Allah alone continuously for many days before his desire to see his family. He used to take with him the journey food for the stay and then come back to his wife Khadija to take his food likewise again till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet ﷺ replied; I do not know how to read. The Prophet ﷺ added; The angel caught me forcefully and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read and I replied; I do not know how to read. Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read but again I replied; I do not know how to read or what shall I read ? Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me; and then released me and said; Read in the name of your Lord; who has created all that exists ; created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous. 96.1; 96.2; 96.3 Then Allah Messenger ﷺ returned with the Inspiration and with his heart beating severely. Then he went to Khadija bint Khuwailid and said; Cover me! Cover me! They covered him till his fear was over and after that he told her everything that had happened and said; I fear that something may happen to me. Khadija replied; Never! By Allah; Allah will never disgrace you. You keep good relations with your kith and kin; help the poor and the destitute; serve your guests generously and assist the deserving calamity-afflicted ones. Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa Bin Nawfal Bin Asad Bin Abdul Uzza; who; during the pre-Islamic Period became a Christian and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He would write from the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to Waraqa; Listen to the story of your nephew; O my cousin! Waraqa asked; O my nephew! What have you seen? Allah Messenger ﷺ described whatever he had seen. Waraqa said; This is the same one who keeps the secrets angel Gabriel whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out. Allah Messenger ﷺ asked; Will they drive me out? Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said; Anyone man who came with something similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly. But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6059
  4. Narrated Aisha: the wife of the Prophet The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah 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 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 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 paternal uncle. Waraqa had been converted to Christianity in the Pre-lslamic 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 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 Messenger ﷺ was very much grieved. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-7265

  6. Anas Bin Malik reported on the authority of Malik Bin Sa sa; perhaps a person of his tribe; that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: I was near the House i. e. Kabah in a state between sleep and wakefulness when I heard someone say: He is the third among the two persons. Then he came to me and took me with him. Then a golden basin containing the water of Zamzam was brought to me and my heart was opened up to such and such part.

He replied: It means that it was opened up to the lower part of his abdomen Then the hadith continues : My heart was extracted and it was washed with the water of Zamzam and then it was restored in its original position; after which it was filled with faith and wisdom. I was then brought a white beast which is called AlBuraq; bigger than a donkey and smaller than a mule. Its stride was as long as the eye could reach. I was mounted on it; and then we went forth till we reached the lowest heaven. Gabriel asked for the gate to be opened; and it was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was again said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad ﷺ. It was said: Has he been sent for? He Gabriel said: Yes.

Then the Bait AlMamur was raised up to me. I said: O Gabriel! what is this? He replied: It is the Bait AlMamur. Seventy thousand angels enter into it daily and; after they come out; they never return again. Two vessels were then brought to me.

  7. Umar Bin AlKhattab Allah be pleased with him reported: When Allah Apostle ﷺ kept himself away from his wives; I entered the Masjid; and found people striking the ground with pebblesand saying: Allah Messenger ﷺ has divorced his wives; and that was before they were commanded to observe seclusion Umar said to himself: I must find this actual position today. So I went to Aisha Allah be pleased with her and said to her : Daughter of Abu Bakr; have you gone to the extent of giving trouble to Allah Messenger ﷺ ? Thereupon she said: Son of AlKhattab; you have nothing to do with me; and I have nothing to do with you. You should look to your own receptacle. He Umar said: I visited Hafsa daughter of Umar; and said to her: Hafsa; the news has reached me that you cause Allah Messenger ﷺ trouble. You know that Allah Messenger ﷺ does not love you; and had I not been your father he would have divorced you. On hearing this she wept bitterly. I said to her: Where is Allah Messenger ﷺ ? Shesaid: He is in the attic room. I went in and found Rabah; the servant of Allah Messenger ﷺ ; sitting on the thresholds of the window dangling his feet on the hollow wood of the date-palm with the help of which Allah Messenger ﷺ climbed to the apartment and came down. I cried: 0 Rabah; seek permission for me from Allah Messenger way ﷺ. Rabah cast a glance at the apartment and then looked toward me but said nothing. I again said: Rabah; seek permission for me from Allah Messenger ﷺ. Rabah looked towards the apartment and then cast a glance at me; but said nothig. I then raised my voice and said: 0 Rabah; seek permission for me from Allah Messenger ﷺ. I think that Allah Messenger ﷺ is under the impression that I have come for the sake of Hafsa. By Allah; if Allah Messenger ﷺ would command me to strike her neck; I would certainly strike her neck. I raised my voice and he pointed me to climb up and get into his apartment. I visited Allah Messenger ﷺ ; and he was lying on a mat. I sat down and he drew up his lower garment over him and he had nothing else over him; and that the mat had left its marks on his sides. I looked with my eyes in the store room of Allah Messenger ﷺ. I found only a handful of barley equal to one sa and an equal quantity of the leaves of Mimosa Flava placed in the nook of the cell; and a semi-tanned leather bag hanging in one side ; and I was moved to tears on seeing this extremely austere living of the Holy Piophet ; and he said: Ibn AlKhattab; what wakes you weep? I said: Apostle of Allah; why should I not shed tears? This mat has left its marks on your sides and I do not see in your store room except these few things that I have seen; Ceasar and Closroes are leading their lives in plenty whereas you are Allah Messenger. His chosen one; and that is your store! He said: Ibn AlKhattab; arent you satisfied that for us there should be the prosperity of the Hereafter; and for them there should be the prosperity of this world? I said: Yes. And as I had entered I had seen the signs of anger on his face; and I therefore; said: Messenger of Allah; what trouble do you feel from your wives; and if youhave divorced them; verily Allah is with you; His angels; Gabriel; Mikail; I and Abu Bakr and the believers are with you. And seldom I talked and which I uttered on that day I hoped that Allah would testify to my words that I uttered. And so the verse of option Ayat AlTakhyir was revealed. Maybe his Lord; if he divorce you; will give him in your place wives better than you... Ixv. 5. And if you back up one another against him; then surely Allah is his Patron; and Gabriel and the righteous believers; and the angels after that are the aidera lvi. 4. And it was Aisha; daughter of Abu Bakr; and Hafsa who had prevailed upon all the wives of Allah Prophet way ﷺ for pressing them for mote money. I said: Messenger of Allah; have you divorced them? He said: No. I said: Messenger of Allah; I entered the Masjid and found the Muslims playing with pebbles absorbed in thought and saying: Allah Messenger has divorced his wives. Should I get down and inform there that you have not divorced them? He said: Yes; if you so like. And I went on talking to him until I found the signs of anger disappeared on his face and his seriousness was changed to a happy mood and as a result thereof his face had the natural tranquillity upon it and he laughed and his teeth were the most charming among the teeth of all people. Then Allah Apostle ﷺ climbed down and I also climbed down and catching hold of the wood of the palm-tree and Allah Messenger ﷺ came down with such ease as if he was walking on the ground; not touching anything with his hand to get support. I said: Messenger of Allah; you remained in your apartment for twenty-nine days. He said: At times the month consists of twenty-nine days. I stood at the door of the Masjid and I called out at the top of my voice: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has not divorced his wives and it was on this occasion that this verse was revealed: And if any matter pertaining to peace or alarm comes within their ken; they broadcast it; whereas; if they would refer it to the Apostle and those who have been entrusted with authority amongst them; those of them who are engaged in obtaining intelligence would indeed know what to do with it iv 83. And it was I who understood this matter; and Allah revealed the verse pertaining to option given to the Prophet ﷺ in regard to the retaining or divorcing of his wives. SahihMuslim-017-001-21516
  8. Abu Saeed Khudri reported that Muawiya went to a circle in the Masjid and said: What makes you sit here? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah. He said: I adjure you by Allah to tell me whether you are sitting here for this very purpose ? They said: By Allah; we are sitting here for this very purpose. Thereupon; he said: I have not demanded you to take an oath; because of any allegation against you and none of my rank in the eye of Allah Messenger ﷺ is the narrator of so few ahadith as I am. The fact is that Allah Messenger ﷺ went out to the circle of his Companions and said: What makes you sit? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah and to praise Him for He guided us to the path of Islam and He conferred favours upon us. Thereupon he adjured by Allah and asked if that only was the purpose of their sitting there. They said: By Allah; we are not sitting here but for this very purpose; whereupon he the Messenger said: I am not asking you to take an oath because of any allegation against you but for the fact that Gabriel came to me and he informed me that Allah; the Exalted and Glorious; was talking to the angels about your magnificence. SahihMuslim-017-001-19520
  9. It was narrated that Abu Huraira and Abu Dharr said: The Messenger of Allah SAWSYMOBOL would sit among his Companions and if a stranger came; he would not know which of them was he the Prophet SAWSYMOBOL until he asked. So we suggested to the Messenger of Allah SAWSYMOBOL that we should make a dais for him so that any stranger would know him if he came to him. So we built for him a bench made of clay on which he used to sit. One day we were sitting and the Messenger of Allah SAWSYMOBOL was sitting in his spot; when a man came along who was the most handsome and good-smelling of all people; and it was as if no dirt had ever touched his garments. He came near the edge of the rug and greeted him; saying: Peace be upon you; O Muhammad! He returned the greeting; and he said: Shall I come closer; O Muhammad? He came a little closer; and he kept telling him to come closer; until he put his hands on the knees of the Messenger of Allah SAWSYMOBOL. He said: O Muhammad; tell me; what is Islam? He said: Islam means to worship Allah and not associate anything with Him; to establish Salah; to pay Zakah; to perform Hajj to the House; and to fast Ramadan. He said: If I do that; will I have submitted be a Muslim ? He said: Yes. He said: You have spoken the truth; we found it odd. He said: O Muhammad; tell me; what is faith? He said: To believe in Allah [SWT]; His Angels; the Book; the Prophets; and to believe in the Divine Decree. He said: If I do that; will I have believed? The Messenger of Allah SAWSYMOBOL said: Yes. He said: You have spoken the truth. He said: O Muhammad; tell me; what is AlIhsan? He said: To worship Allah [SWT] as if you can see Him; for although you cannot see Him; He can see you. He said: You have spoken the truth. He said: O Muhammad; tell me about the Hour. He lowered his head and did not answer. Then he repeated the question; and he did not answer. Then he repeated the question a third time and he did not answer. Then he raised his head and said: The one who is being asked does not know more than the one who is asking. But it has signs; by which it may be known. When you see the herdsmen competing in building tall buildings; when you see the barefoot and naked ruling the Earth; when you see a woman giving birth to her mistress. Five things which no one knows except Allah [SWT]. Verily; Allah; with Him alone is the knowledge of the Hour up to His saying: Verily; Allah is All-Knower; All-Aware of things. Then he said: No; by the One who sent Muhammad with the truth; with guidance and glad tidings; I did not know him more than any man among you. That was Jibril; peace be upon you; who came down in the form of Dihyah AlKalbi. SunanAlNasai-017-001-11887
