The Miracles of our Prophet (saas)

The had iths in form us about how ex traor di na ry it is to

re ceive a rev e la tion and of the mar vel lous spir it u al things the
Prophet (saas) ex pe ri enced in his room. We learn that when the
rev e la tions came, those who were with him heard a sound like
a bee buzz ing around his face. Sahih al-Bukhari states:
Aisha nar rat ed: "Al-Harith ibn Hisham asked the Prophet (saas):
'How does the rev e la tion come to you?' He re plied: 'In all of that
the an gel comes to me, some times with a voice that re sem bles the
sound of a ring ing bell. When this state aban dons me, I re mem ber
what the an gel has said. This type of rev e la tion is the hard est on me.
Sometimes the an gel comes to me in the shape of a man and talks to
me, and I un der stand and re mem ber what he says.'" 3

Aisha nar rat ed: "I saw the Prophet (saas) re ceive rev e la tion on a
very cold day and no ticed the sweat drop ping from his fore head." 4
Zayd ibn Thabit nar rat ed: "I wrote down Allah's rev e la tions to the
Prophet (saas). When the rev e la tion came to him, he felt a great
wea ri ness and had beads of sweat like pearls. When the state of rev -
e la tion end ed, he re cit ed and I would write." 5

Abu Hurayrah nar rat ed: "When the rev e la tion came from Allah to
the Prophet (saas), it was as if he had faint ed." 6
