"Al-Harith bin Hisham asked the Messenger of Allah, `O Messenger of Allah, how does the revelation come to you?'

The Messenger of Allah said;

أَحْيَانًا يَأْتِينِي مِثْلَ صَلْصَلَةِ الْجَرَسِ وَهُوَ أَشَدُّهُ عَلَيَّ فَيَفْصِمُ عَنِّي وَقَدْ وَعَيْتُ مَا قَالَ وَأَحْيَانًا يَأْتِينِي الْمَلَكُ رَجُلً فَيُكَلِّمُنِي فَأَعِي مَا يَقُول

Sometimes it comes to me like the ringing of a bell, which is the most difficult for me; then it goes away, and I understand what was said.

And sometimes the angel comes to me in the image of a man, and he speaks to me and I understand what he says."

A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said,

"I saw him receiving the revelation on a very cold day, and when it departed from him, there were beads of sweat on his forehead."
