Sirat Ibn Hisham 262
The first thing with which the Messenger ﷺ began was true dreams
[ أَوَّلُ مَا بُدِئَ بِهِ الرَّسُولُ ﷺ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّادِقَةُ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَذَكَرَ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ أَنَّهَا حَدَّثَتْهُ: أَنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا بُدِئَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ النُّبُوَّةِ، حِينَ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ كَرَامَتَهُ وَرَحْمَةَ الْعِبَادِ بِهِ، الرُّؤْيَا الصَّادِقَةُ، لَا يَرَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رُؤْيَا فِي نُوُمِهِ إلَّا جَاءَتْ كَفَلَقِ الصُّبْحِ قَالَتْ: وَحَبَّبَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إلَيْهِ الْخَلْوَةَ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَخْلُوَ وَحْدَهُ
Translation
✧ [ The first thing with which the Messenger ﷺ began: truthful dreams ] Ibn Isḥāq said: Then al-Zuhrī mentioned, from ʿUrwah b. al-Zubayr, from ʿĀʾishah ؓ, that she related to him: The first thing with which the Messenger of God ﷺ began, of prophethood, when God willed His honouring of him and His mercy to the servants through him, was the truthful dream. The Messenger of God ﷺ did not see a dream in his sleep but it came like the break of dawn. She said: And God, exalted is He, made seclusion beloved to him, and there was nothing more beloved to him than to be alone by himself.
