describing the period of pause of the

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

That he heard Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) describing the
period of pause of the Divine Inspiration, and in his description he said,
"While I was walking I heard a voice from the sky. I looked up towards the
sky, and behold! I saw the same Angel who came to me in the Cave of Hira,
sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth. I was so terrified by him
that I fell down on the ground. Then I went to my wife and said, 'Wrap me
in garments! Wrap me in garments!' They wrapped me, and then Allah
revealed:

"O you, (Muhammad) wrapped-up! Arise and warn...and desert the idols."
(74.1-5) Abu Salama said....Rujz means idols. After that, the Divine
Inspiration started coming more frequently and regularly.
