﴿ وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ ﴾

“And thy Sustainer's greatness glorify!”

(O thou enveloped in thy cloak�) [74:1-4]. Abu Ishaq Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Muqri� informed us> �Abd al-Malik ibn al-Walid> his father> al-Awza�i> Yahya ibn Abi Kathir> Abu Salamah> Jabir who related that the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, said to them: �I stayed in Hira� for a month and when my stay came to an end, I came down. As I was in the middle of the valley, I was called. I looked in front and behind me, to my right and to my left, but could not see anyone. I was called once again. I raised my head, and I saw on a throne in midair [i.e. Gabriel peace be upon him]. I said: �Wrap me up, wrap me up!� And they threw water over me. Allah, glorified and majestic is He, then revealed (O thou enveloped in thy cloak, Arise and warn! Thy Lord magnify, Thy raiment purify)�. Narrated by Muslim> Zuhayr ibn Harb> al-Walid ibn Muslim> al-Awza�i.
