Narrated Yahya bin Abi Kathir:
I asked Aba Salama bin 'Abdur-Rahman about the first Sura revealed of the Qur'an. He replied "O
you, wrapped-up (i.e. Al Muddaththir)." I said, "They say it was, 'Read, in the Name of your Lord Who
created,' (i.e. Surat Al-'Alaq (the Clot)." On that, Abu Salama said, "I asked Jabir bin 'Abdullah about
that, saying the same as you have said, whereupon he said, 'I will not tell you except what Allah's
Apostle had told us. Allah's Apostle said, "I was in seclusion in the cave of Hiram', and after I com-
pleted the limited period of my seclusion. I came down (from the cave) and heard a voice calling me.
I looked to my right, but saw nothing. Then I looked up and saw something. So I went to Khadija (the
Prophet's wife) and told her to wrap me up and pour cold water on me. So they wrapped me up and
poured cold water on me." Then, 'O you, (Muhammad) wrapped up! Arise and warn,' (Surat Al Mud-
daththir) was revealed." (74.1)

"While I was walking, I heard voices from the sky. I looked up, and behold ! I saw the same Angel
who came to me in the cave of Hira' sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I was too much
afraid of him (so I returned to my house) and said, 'Fold me up in garments!' They wrapped me up.
