Sahih al-Bukhari 4956

Translation

The commencement of (the Divine Inspirations to) Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in the form of true dreams. The Angel came to him and said, "Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created all exists), has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is Most Generous, Who has taught (the writing) by the pen. (96.1-4)
