Khadijah testing the proof of the revelation
[ امْتِحَانُ خَدِيجَةَ بُرْهَانَ الْوَحْيِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي إسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ مَوْلَى آلِ الزُّبَيْرِ: أَنَّهُ حُدِّثَ عَنْ خَدِيجَةَ ؓ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ: أَيْ ابْنَ عَمِّ، أَتَسْتَطِيعُ أَنَّ تُخْبِرَنِي بِصَاحِبِكَ هَذَا الَّذِي يَأْتِيكَ إذَا جَاءَكَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَتْ: فَإِذَا جَاءَكَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِهِ. فَجَاءَهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ كَمَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِخَدِيجَةَ: يَا خَدِيجَةُ، هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ قَدْ جَاءَنِي، قَالَتْ: قُمْ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ فَاجْلِسْ عَلَى فَخِذِي الْيُسْرَى؛ قَالَ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا، قَالَتْ: هَلْ تَرَاهُ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَتْ: فَتُحَوَّلْ فَاجْلِسْ عَلَى فَخِذِي الْيُمْنَى؛ قَالَتْ: فَتَحَوَّلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَلَسَ عَلَى فَخِذِهَا الْيُمْنَى، فَقَالَتْ: هَلْ تَرَاهُ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَتْ: فَتَحَوَّلْ فَاجْلِسْ فِي حِجْرِي، قَالَتْ: فَتَحَوَّلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَلَسَ فِي حِجْرِهَا. قَالَتْ: هَلْ تَرَاهُ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَتَحَسَّرَتْ وَأَلْقَتْ خِمَارَهَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ فِي حِجْرِهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ لَهُ: هَلْ تَرَاهُ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قَالَتْ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ، اُثْبُتْ وَأَبْشِرْ، فَوَاَللَّهِ إنَّهُ لَمَلَكٌ وَمَا هَذَا بِشَيْطَانٍ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدْ حَدَّثْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ حَسَنٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ أُمِّي فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ حُسَيْنٍ تُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ خَدِيجَةَ، إلَّا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهَا تَقُولُ: أَدْخَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ دِرْعِهَا، فَذَهَبَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ جِبْرِيلُ، فَقَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ: إنَّ هَذَا لَمَلَكٌ وَمَا هُوَ بِشَيْطَانٍ
Translation
✧ [Khadijah's testing the proof of revelation] Ibn Isḥāq said: Ismāʿīl b. Abī Ḥakīm, mawlā of the family of al-Zubayr, related to me that he was told on the authority of Khadījah ؓ that she said to the Messenger of God ﷺ: O son of my uncle, can you tell me about this companion of yours who comes to you when he comes to you? He said: Yes. She said: So when he comes to you, tell me about him. Then Gabriel ﷺ came to him as he used to do, and the Messenger of God ﷺ said to Khadījah: O Khadījah, this is Gabriel who has come to me. She said: Rise, O son of my uncle, and sit on my left thigh. He said: So the Messenger of God ﷺ rose and sat on it. She said: Do you see him? He said: Yes. She said: Then move and sit on my right thigh. She said: So the Messenger of God ﷺ moved and sat on her right thigh, and she said: Do you see him? He said: Yes. She said: Then move and sit in my lap. She said: So the Messenger of God ﷺ moved and sat in her lap. She said: Do you see him? He said: Yes. He said: Then she uncovered herself and cast off her veil while the Messenger of God ﷺ was sitting in her lap, then she said to him: Do you see him? He said: No. She said: O son of my uncle, be steadfast and rejoice, for by God, he is an angel and this is no devil. Ibn Isḥāq said: I related this ḥadīth to ʿAbd Allāh b. Ḥasan, and he said: I heard my mother Fāṭimah bt. Ḥusayn relate this ḥadīth from Khadījah, except that I heard her say: She admitted the Messenger of God ﷺ between her and her shift, and at that Gabriel departed, and she said to the Messenger of God ﷺ: Verily this is an angel and he is no devil.
