Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

{Read in the name of your Lord, who has created (all that exists), has created man
from 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.} [Surah al-`Alaq (96):1-5]❞
Then Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ returned with the Inspiration and his heart was beating
severely. Then he went to Khadeejah 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.❞ Khadeejah replied:
“Never! By Allaah, Allaah will never disgrace you. You keep good relations with your
kith and kin, you speak the truth, you bear people’s burden, help the destitute, serve
your guests generously and assist those who are stricken with calamities.”
Khadeejah then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqah Ibn Naufal Ibn Asad Ibn
`Abdul `Uzza, who, during the Jaahiliyyah (Pre-Islaamic Period of ignorance) became a
Christian and used to write the writing in Hebrew. He would write from the Injeel in
Hebrew as much as Allaah wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his
eyesight. Khadeejah said to Waraqah: “Listen to the story of your nephew, O my
cousin!” Waraqah asked: “O my nephew! What have you seen?” Allaah’s Messenger
described whatever he had seen. Waraqah said: “This is the same one who keeps the
secrets (Angel Jibreel) whom Allaah had sent to Moosaa ‏.(عليهُالسالم)‏ I wish I were young
and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out.” Allaah’s Messenger
said: asked: ❝Will they drive me out?❞ Waraqah replied in the affirmative and ﷺ
“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 Waraqah died and the
Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while and the Prophet ﷺ became so sad - as
we have heard 125 - that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of
125 I (al-Albaanee) say: the one who said the statement: “as we have heard”, is Ibn Shihaab al-Zuhree, one of the
sub-narrators, who reported on the authority of `Urwah from `Aaishah. This statement of his is an indication that
this paragraph is not according to the conditions of “Ṣaḥeeḥ”, because this is from the statements of al-Zuhree
and they are not connected (i.e. he did not mention from whom he had heard this), as Ibn Ḥajar had mentioned in
“al-Fatḥ”, so be aware. It is because of this reason that (Imaam) Muslim did not mention this passage in his
“Ṣaḥeeḥ”.
[TN: The addition is not from the statements of `Aaishah رضيُاهللُعنها but it is from the statements of al-Zuhree, and
he was a Taabi`ee and he did not witness that incident, nor did he mention which of the Companions had
informed him about it.
See “Fatḥ al-Baaree” (12/359) of Ibn Ḥajar. Abu Shaamah al-Maqdasee also said the same in “
