Bukhaaree”, under “the chapter: How the Divine Revelation started”. We have<br />
discussed in detail about its Isnaad (different chains) and Matn (Text), and all praise is<br />
for <strong>Al</strong>laah alone.<br />
Imaam Muslim also reported this narration (of `Aaishah) in his “Ṣaḥeeḥ”, but it ended<br />
at the statement of Waraqah: “If I live to that day of yours, I will support you<br />
wholeheartedly.”<br />
As for the statement of Umm al-Mu’mineen, `Aaishah :رضيُاهللُعنها “The commencement<br />
(of the Divine Inspiration) to <strong>Al</strong>laah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in the form of true dreams<br />
in his sleep, for he never had a dream but it turned out to be true and clear as the bright<br />
daylight.” This statement of hers strengthens what Muḥammad Ibn Is-ḥaaq had<br />
reported from `Ubaid Ibn `Umair al-Laythee that the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝While I was<br />
asleep, Jibreel came to me with a silk brocade cloth with writing on it. He said:<br />
“Read!” I said: ‘‘I do not know how to read.” Thereupon he caught me and pressed<br />
me till I thought I was going to die. He then released me.❞ 128<br />
He then mentioned the remaining of the Ḥadeeth same like that of `Aaishah.<br />
Abu Shaamah said: Before his Prophethood, the Prophet ﷺ used to witness strange<br />
things. Among them was what Imaam Muslim mentioned in his “Ṣaḥeeḥ”, on the<br />
authority of Jaabir Ibn Samurah رضيُاهللُعنه that the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝I recognize the<br />
stone in Makkah which used to greet me Salaam before my advent as a Prophet and I<br />
recognize that even now.❞ 129<br />
End of quote from Abu Shaamah.<br />
128 (Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee said): “<strong>Al</strong>-<strong>Seerah</strong>” (1/252), the chain of this narration is “Ṣaḥeeḥ Mursal” (i.e. the chain till<br />
`Ubaid Ibn `Umair is “Ṣaḥeeḥ” but the link between him and the Prophet ﷺ is missing). Something similar was<br />
also reported by al-Ḥaakim in “al-Mustadrak” (3955), from the narrations of `Amr Ibn Deenaar from Jaabir Ibn<br />
`Abdullaah that the Prophet ﷺ had said. <strong>Al</strong>-Ḥaakim then mentioned that the correct is that this chain is<br />
“Mursal”, and the mention of Jaabir is not there.<br />
[TN: Apart from being “Mursal”, the text of this narration also opposes the authentic narration. In this narration it<br />
is mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ saw Jibreel in the state of sleep and not while he ﷺ was awake. This is<br />
baseless, as the meeting between the two Messengers took place in the state of wakefulness. See “al-Ḍha`eefah”<br />
(10/455-457) of Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee.]<br />
