6.502:
Narrated `Aisha and Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet remained in Mecca
for ten years, during which the Qur'an used to be revealed to
him; and he stayed in Medina for ten years.
6.503:
Narrated Abu `Uthman: I was informed that Gabriel came to the
Prophet while Um Salama was with him. Gabriel started talking
(to the Prophet). Then the Prophet asked Um Salama, "Who is
this?" She replied, "He is Dihya (al−Kalbi)." When Gabriel had
left, Um Salama said, "By Allah, I did not take him for
anybody other than him (i.e. Dihya) till I heard the sermon of
the Prophet wherein he informed about the news of Gabriel."
The subnarrator asked Abu `Uthman: From whom have you heard
that? Abu `Uthman said: From Usama bin Zaid.
6.504:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Every Prophet was
given miracles because of which people believed, but what I
have been given, is Divine Inspiration which Allah has
revealed to me. So I hope that my followers will outnumber the
followers of the other Prophets on the Day of Resurrection."
6.505:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah sent down His Divine
Inspiration to His Apostle continuously and abundantly during
the period preceding his death till He took him unto Him. That
was the period of the greatest part of revelation; and Allah's
Apostle died after that.
6.506:
Narrated Jundub:
Once the Prophet fell ill and did not offer the night prayer
(Tahajjud prayer) for a night or two. A woman (the wife of Abu
Lahab) came to him and said, "O Muhammad ! I do not see but
that your Satan has left you." Then Allah revealed
(Surat−Ad−Duha): 'By the fore−noon, and by the night when it
darkens (or is still); Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor
hated you.' (93)
6.507:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: (The Caliph `Uthman ordered Zaid bin
Thabit, Sa`id bin Al−As, `Abdullah bin Az−Zubair and
`Abdur−Rahman bin Al−Harith bin Hisham to write the Qur'an in
the form of a book (Mushafs) and said to them. "In case you
disagree with Zaid bin Thabit (Al−Ansari) regarding any
dialectic Arabic utterance of the Qur'an, then write it in the
dialect of Quraish, for the Qur'an was revealed in this
dialect." So they did it.
6.508:
Narrated Safwan bin Ya`la bin Umaiya: Ya`la used to say, "I
wish I could see Allah's Apostle at the time he is being
inspired Divinely." When the Prophet was at Al−Ja'rana and was
shaded by a garment hanging over him and some of his
companions were with him, a man perfumed with scent came and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! What is your opinion regarding a man
who assumes Ihram and puts on a cloak after perfuming his body
with scent?" The Prophet waited for a while, and then the
Divine Inspiration descended upon him. `Umar pointed out to
Ya`la, telling him to come. Ya`la came and pushed his head
(underneath the screen which was covering the Prophet ) and
behold! The Prophet's face was red and he kept on breathing
heavily for a while and then he was relieved. Thereupon he
said, "Where is the questioner who asked me about `Umra a
while ago?" The man was sought and then was brought before the
Prophet who said (to him), "As regards the scent which you
perfumed your body with, you must wash it off thrice, and as
for your cloak, you must take it off; and then perform in your
`Umra all those things which you perform in Hajj."
6.509:
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: Abu Bakr As−Siddiq sent for me when
the people! of Yamama had been killed (i.e., a number of the
Prophet's Companions who fought against Musailama). (I went to
him) and found `Umar bin Al−Khattab sitting with him. Abu Bakr
then said (to me), "`Umar has come to me and said: "Casualties
were heavy among the Qurra' of the! Qur'an (i.e. those who
knew the Qur'an by heart) on the day of the Battle of Yalmama,
and I am afraid that more heavy casualties may take place
among the Qurra' on other battlefields, whereby a large part
of the Qur'an may be lost. Therefore I suggest, you (Abu Bakr)
order that the Qur'an be collected." I said to `Umar, "How can
you do something which Allah's Apostle did not do?" `Umar
said, "By Allah, that is a good project. "`Umar kept on urging
me to accept his proposal till Allah opened my chest for it
and I began to realize the good in the idea which `Umar had
realized." Then Abu Bakr said (to me). 'You are a wise young
man and we do not have any suspicion about you, and you used
to write the Divine Inspiration for Allah's Apostle. So you
should search for (the fragmentary scripts of) the Qur'an and
collect it in one book)." By Allah If they had ordered me to
shift one of the mountains, it would not have been heavier for
me than this ordering me to collect the Qur'an. Then I said to
Abu Bakr, "How will you do something which Allah's Apostle did
not do?" Abu Bakr replied, "By Allah, it is a good project."
Abu Bakr kept on urging me to accept his idea until Allah
opened my chest for what He had opened the chests of Abu Bakr
and `Umar. So I started looking for the Qur'an and collecting
it from (what was written on) palmed stalks, thin white stones
and also from the men who knew it by heart, till I found the
last Verse of Surat at−Tauba (Repentance) with Abi Khuza`ima
Al−Ansari, and I did not find it with anybody other than him.
The Verse is: 'Verily there has come unto you an Apostle
(Muhammad) from amongst yourselves. It grieves him that you
should receive any injury or difficulty..(till the end of
Surat−Baraa' (at−Tauba) (9.128−129) Then the complete
manuscripts (copy) of the Qur'an remained with Abu Bakr till
he died, then with `Umar till the end of his life, and then
with Hafsa, the daughter of `Umar.
