Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam ‘ala Rasulillah Narrated Aisha (Radi-Allahu ‘anha):
Al
Harith bin Hisham asked the Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam),
“How does the divine inspiration come to you?” He replied, “In all these
ways:
The Angel sometimes comes to me with a voice which
resembles the sound of a ringing bell, and when this state abandons me, I
remember what the Angel has said – and this type of Divine Inspiration
is the hardest on me; and sometimes the Angel comes to me in the shape
of a man and talks to me, and I understand and remember what he says.”
