It is universally agreed that the opening of this surah was the first Qur'anic revelation. The accounts stating that other verses were revealed first are not authentic. Imam Ahmad transmits the following hadith attributing it to Aisha, the Prophet's wife:.
The first aspect of revelation to Allah's Messenger was that his dreams came true. Whatever vision he might have in his sleep would occur exactly as he had seen. Then, he began to enjoy seclusion. He used to retreat alone into the cave of Hira where he would- spend several days in devotion before going back to his family. He used to take some food with him, and when he came back he would take a fresh supply for another period.
He continued to do so until he received the truth while in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him and said, "Read. So, he held me and pressed me hard a second time until I was exhausted, then he released me and said, "Read. Then he said, "Read, in the name of your Lord Who created, created man from clots of blood. Wrap me! He turned to Khadeeja and exclaimed, "What has happened to me? Allah will not let you suffer any humiliation, because you are kind to your relatives, you speak the truth, you assist anyone in need, you are hospitable to your guests and you help in every just cause.
He had lost his eyesight as he had grown very old. Khadeeja said to Waraqa, "Cousin, would you like to hear what your nephew has to say? When he finished, Waraqa said, " It is the same revelation as was sent down to Moses. I wish I was a young man so that I might be alive when your people turn you away from this city.
No man has ever preached a message like yours but was met with enmity. If I live till that day, I will certainly give you all my support. This hadith is transmitted in both of the most authentic books of the Prophet's traditions and was related by Al-Zuhri. The Prophet said, 'While I was asleep he came to me carrying a case of a very rich material in which there was a book. He said, 'Read. Then he released me and said, 'Read. He said, 'Read: In the name of your Lord who created He stopped, then left me and went away.
I woke up feeling that it was actually written in my heart'. I could not bear even looking at either. I thought, 'The man meaning himself is undoubtedly a poet or deranged. This shall not be said about me amongst the Quraish. Let me climb high up in the mountain and throw myself and get rid of it all.
When I was half way up in the mountain I heard a voice coming from the heavens saying, 'Muhammad, you are the Messenger of Allah and I am Jibril. I was standing there unable to move. I tried to turn my face away from him and to look up at the sky, but wher- ever I looked, I saw him in front of me. I stood still, moving neither forward nor backward. Khadeeja sent her messengers looking for me and I remained standing in my place all the while until they went back to her.
He then left me and I went back to my family This tradition is also related in more details by Ibn Ishaq, on the authority of Wahb ibn Kayssan. I reflected for a while upon this event. We all have read it many times in books; either those of the Prophet's biography or those explaining the meaning of the Qur'an.
But we either read it casually or gave it little thought and went on with our reading. Yet this is an event which has immense significance. It is an event which has important bearing on the life of humanity; but much as we try today to perceive its great value, many of its aspects will remain beyond our perception.
It is no exaggeration to describe this event as the greatest in the long history of human existence. The true nature of this event is that Allah, the Great, the Compeller, the Almighty, the Supreme, the Sovereign of the whole universe, out of His benevolence, has turned to that creation of His which is called "man", and which takes its abode in a hardly visible corner of the universe, the name of which is the "Earth".
He has hon- oured this species of His creation by choosing one of its numbers to be the recipient of His Divine light and the guardian of His wisdom. This is something infinitely great. Some aspects of its greatness become apparent when man tries, as best as he can, to perceive the essential qualities of Allah: absolute power, freedom from all limi- tations and everlastingness; and when he reflects, in comparison, on the basic qualities of Allah's servants who arc subject to certain limitations of power and life duration.
One may then perceive the significance of this Divine care for man. He may realise the sweetness of this feeling and manifest his appreciation with thanksgiving, prayers and devotion. He feels that the whole universe shares in the general happiness spread by the revelation of Divine words to man in his obscure corner of the universe.
What is the significance of this event? With reference to Allah, it signifies that He is the source of all the great bounties and unfailing compassion. Go to Ayah. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran. Recite in the name of your Lord who created. Created man from a clinging substance. And your Lord is the Most Generous,. Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -.
Taught man that which he knew not. Most certainly, one exceeds all bounds. Because he sees himself self-sufficient. Indeed, to your Lord is the return. Have you seen the man who prevents. Have you seen the one who forbids. And your Lord is the Most Generous. Who has taught the writing by the pen, has taught man that which he knew not. What is wrong with me? I was afraid that something bad might happen to me. Khadija said, "Nay! But receive the good tidings!
