Sahih al-Bukhari 4954
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
While Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was talking about the period of pause in 
revelation. he said in his narration. "Once while I was walking, all of a sudden I heard a voice from 
the sky. I looked up and saw to my surprise, the same Angel as had visited me in the cave of Hira.' He 
was sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I got afraid of him and came back home and said, 
Wrap me! Wrap me!" So they covered him and then Allah revealed: 
'O you, wrapped up! Arise and warn and your Lord magnify, and your garments purify and dessert the 
idols.' (74.1-5) 
Abu Salama said, "(Rijz) are the idols which the people of the Pre-lslamic period used to worship." 
After this the revelation started coming frequently and regularly.
