Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! In the hadith of al-Harith ibn Hisham: (That the revelation comes to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) like the sound of a bell) What is the meaning of this?
Its meaning is: The Messenger (peace be upon him) hears a sound like the ringing of a bell and receives the revelation in this manner. This is the most difficult form for the Messenger (peace be upon him). For this reason, he knows when the revelation descends upon him in this way: (until he breaks out in sweat on a very cold day) May Allah send blessings and peace upon him.
