Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

{Verily, We shall send down to you a weighty Word} [Surah al-Muzzammil (73): 5]
This is why, when he ﷺ would receive Revelation, his face would turn red, and he
would breathe heavily and fast like a young camel, 135 and sweat dripping from his
forehead even on an intensely cold day. 136
The Prophet’s ﷺ statement: ❝I fear that something may happen to me❞, this was
because he ﷺ witnessed an event which he had never experienced or imagined
before. That was why Khadeejah رضيُاهلل ‏ُعنها said to him: “Never! By Allaah, Allaah will
never disgrace or sadden you.” The statement relates to her knowledge (and
understanding) of the fine behavior characteristics that Allaah تعاىل had instilled in him,
and that those who possess the qualities of righteousness and goodness will never be
disgraced in this world or the Hereafter.
She then reminded him ﷺ of his virtuous characteristics and exemplary traits,
ﷺ saying: “You keep good relations with your kith and kin, you speak the truth”, he
was famous for these traits with those who accepted (his message) and those who
rejected it.
She also said: “You carry the people’s burden”, meaning: you provide for those in need
what will alleviate their burden of supporting their families.
She also said: “you help the destitute”, meaning: you would be the foremost in
spending generously on the poor and destitute before others.
She also said: “you serve your guests generously”, meaning: you honor your guests by
offering them food and good accommodation.
She also said: “and you assist those who are stricken with calamities”, meaning: if
anyone was afflicted with a calamity, you assist them and provide for them till they find
some means of livelihood.
135 [TN: Ya`laa رضيُاهللُعنه saw the Prophet ﷺ when he was receiving the Revelation, and he saw that the face of
Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ was red and he breathing heavily (like someone snoring). [Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhaaree (1536,
4329, 4985) and Ṣaḥeeḥ Muslim (1180-8)]]
136 [TN: `Aaishah رضي ‏ُاهلل ‏ُعنها said: “Verily I saw the Prophet ﷺ being Inspired Divinely on a very cold day and
noticed the sweat dripping from his forehead (when the Inspiration was over).” [Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhaaree (2)]]
