Narrated 'Aisha: (the mother of the faithful
believers) Al-Harith bin Hisham asked Allah's
Apostle "O Allah's Apostle! How is the Divine
Inspiration revealed to you?" Allah's Apostle
replied, "Sometimes it is (revealed) like the
ringing of a bell, this form of Inspiration is
the hardest of all and then this state passes '
off after I have grasped what is inspired.
Sometimes the Angel comes in the form of a
man and talks to me and I grasp whatever
he says." 'Aisha added: Verily I saw the
Prophet being inspired Divinely on a very
cold day and noticed the Sweat dropping
from his forehead (as the Inspiration was
over).
