أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ إِشْكَابٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ بِالْوَحْيِ سَمِعَ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ لِلسَّمَاءِ صَلْصَلَةً كَجَرِّ السِّلْسِلَةِ عَلَى الصَّفَا فَيُصْعَقُونَ فَلَا يَزَالُونَ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمْ جِبْرِيلُ فَإِذَا جَاءَهُمْ فُزِّعَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَيَقُولُونَ يَا جِبْرِيلُ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ الْحَقَّ فَيُنَادُونَ الْحَقَّ الْحَقَّ»

✧ When Allah speaks the revelation, the inhabitants of the heaven hear from the heaven a sound like a chain being dragged on a rock, and they swoon. They remain like that until Jibril comes to them. When he comes, terror is removed from their hearts, and they say, "O Jibril, what did your Lord say?" He says, "The truth," and they call out, "The truth, the truth."
