Sahih Bukhari 4926

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ فَتْرَةِ الْوَحْيِ : فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ ، فَرَفَعْتُ بَصَرِي قِبَلَ السَّمَاءِ ، فَإِذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي جَاءَنِي بِحِرَاءٍ قَاعِدٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ، فَجَئِثْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى هَوَيْتُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ، فَجِئْتُ أَهْلِي ، فَقُلْتُ : زَمِّلُونِي زَمِّلُونِي ، فَزَمَّلُونِي ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَأَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ فَاهْجُرْ سورة المدثر آية 1 - 5 ، قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ : وَالرِّجْزَ : الْأَوْثَانَ ، ثُمَّ حَمِيَ الْوَحْيُ وَتَتَابَعَ .

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: That he heard Allah's Messenger describing the period of pause of the Divine Inspiration, and in his description he said, While I was walking I heard a voice from the sky. I looked up towards the sky, 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 so terrified by him that I fell down on the ground. Then I went to my wife and said, 'Wrap me in garments! Wrap me in garments!' They wrapped me, and then Allah revealed: O you, (Muhammad) wrapped-up! Arise and warn...and desert the idols. (74.1-5) Abu Salama said....Rujz means idols. After that, the Divine Inspiration started coming more frequently and regularly.
