﴿اق رَأُُبِاس مُُِرَبِّكَُُالَّذِيُخَلَقَُُ*ُخَلَقَُُاْل ِنسَانَُُمِن ُُعَلَق ُُ*ُاق رَأُُوَرَبُّكَُُاِّل َك رَمُُ*ُالَّذِيُ عَلَّمُبُِال قَلَمُُِ*ُ عَلَّمُ<br />

اْل ِنسَانَُُمَاُلَُُيَع لَم ُ﴾<br />
{Read in the name of your Lord, who has created (all that exists), has created man<br />
from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous. Who has taught (the writing)<br />
by the pen. Has taught man that which he knew not.} [Surah al-`<strong>Al</strong>aq (96):1-5]<br />
And these are the very first Aayaat of the Qur’aan to be revealed, as we have<br />
established in our “Tafseer”, and which we will again mention here (in the next<br />
chapter). The day was Monday, as has been established from the narration in Ṣaḥeeḥ<br />
Muslim, from Abu Qataadah رضيُاهللُعنه that the Prophet ﷺ was asked about Fasting on<br />
Mondays, so he ﷺ replied: ❝That is the day on which I was born and the day on<br />
which I received Revelation.❞ 131<br />
Ibn `Abbaas رضي ُاهلل ُعنهما said: “Your Prophet ﷺ was born on a Monday, and he was<br />
made a Prophet on a Monday…” 132<br />
And there is no disagreement regarding this.<br />
And what is widely accepted is that it was the month of Ramaḍhaan in which the<br />
Revelation was first sent to the Prophet ,ﷺ as has been established from the<br />
narrations reported by `Ubaid Ibn `Umair (al-Laythee), Muḥammad Ibn Is-ḥaaq and<br />
others (some of which were already mentioned earlier). Ibn Is-ḥaaq, as evidence, also<br />
:تعاىل presented the saying of <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />
﴿شَه ر ُُرَمَضَانَُُالَّذِيُأ نزِلَُُفِيهُُِال ق رُآن ُُه د ىُلِّلنَّاسُِ﴾<br />
{The month of Ramaḍhaan in which was revealed the Qur’aan, a guidance for<br />
mankind…} [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 185]<br />
131 Ṣaḥeeḥ Muslim (1162-197)<br />
132 [TN: Musnad Aḥmad (2506) and al-Ṭabaraanee in “al-Kabeer” (2676, 11124, 12984), the complete narration is<br />
as follows: Ibn `Abbaas said: “The Prophet ﷺ was born on a Monday, his mission began on a Monday, he died<br />
on a Monday, he left Makkah, migrating to al-Madeenah, on a Monday, he came to al-Madeenah on a Monday,<br />
and he lifted up the Black Stone on a Monday.”<br />
But the chain of this narration is “Ḍha`eef” (Weak) because of Ibn Lahee`ah who had poor memory.]<br />
