حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ أَىُّ الْقُرْآنِ أُنْزِلَ أَوَّلُ فَقَالَ ‏{‏يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ‏}‏ فَقُلْتُ أُنْبِئْتُ أَنَّهُ ‏{‏اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ‏}‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الْقُرْآنِ أُنْزِلَ أَوَّلُ فَقَالَ ‏{‏يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ‏}‏ فَقُلْتُ أُنْبِئْتُ أَنَّهُ ‏{‏اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ‏}‏ فَقَالَ لاَ أُخْبِرُكَ إِلاَّ بِمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ جَاوَرْتُ فِي حِرَاءٍ فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ جِوَارِي، هَبَطْتُ فَاسْتَبْطَنْتُ الْوَادِيَ فَنُودِيتُ، فَنَظَرْتُ أَمَامِي وَخَلْفِي وَعَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ شِمَالِي فَإِذَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى عَرْشٍ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، فَأَتَيْتُ خَدِيجَةَ فَقُلْتُ دَثِّرُونِي وَصُبُّوا عَلَىَّ مَاءً بَارِدًا، وَأُنْزِلَ عَلَىَّ ‏{‏يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ * قُمْ فَأَنْذِرْ * وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ‏}‏‏"‏

I asked Abu Salama, "Which Sura of the Qur'an was revealed first?" He replied, "O you, wrapped-up' (Al-Muddaththir)." I said, "I have been informed that it was, 'Read, in the Name of your Lord who created (i.e. Surat Al-Alaq) Thereupon, Abu Salamah said that he asked Hadrat Jabir bin Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہما : Which chapter of the Quran was revealed first? He replied: The Mantled one. i submitted: I have been told that the chapter the clot of the Blood was the first to be revealed. He, whereupon, said: I have told you what Allah`s Apostle ﷺ told me Allah`s Apostle ﷺ said: I had retired to the Cave Hira. After completing the session, when I ascended, and reached the valley, some one called me. I, whereupon, looked forward, backward, to right and to left, and saw someone sitting on a throne in between the heaven and the earth. I came back home and asked Khadijah to wrap me up and pour the cold water on me. So, these verses were revealed to me: ''O the Mantled one. Stand up, then warn. And magnify your Lord alone.
