The hadith of al-Harith ibn Hisham that the revelation comes to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) like the sound of a bell; what is its meaning?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, in the hadith of al-Harith ibn Hisham:
That the revelation comes to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) like the sound of a bell أن الوحي يأتي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على مثل صلصلة الجرس
What is the meaning of this?

The Shaykh : It means that the Messenger (peace and blessings 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 and blessings be upon him). For this reason, he knows when the revelation descends upon him in this way.
Until he would break out in sweat on a very cold day حتى إنه ليتفصد عرقا في اليوم الشديد البرد
May Allah send blessings and peace upon him. Yes, does the first row contradict this? Do you have anything?
