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