أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ
سَأَلَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَيْفَ يَأْتِيكَ الْوَحْيُ؟ قَالَ «فِي مِثْلِ صَلْصَلَةِ الْجَرَسِ فَيُفْصَمُ عَنِّي وَقَدْ وَعَيْتُ عَنْهُ وَهُو أَشَدُّهُ عَلَيَّ وَأَحْيَانًا يَأْتِينِي فِي مِثْلِ صُورَةِ الْفَتَى فَيَنْبِذُهُ إِلَيَّ»

✧ Al-Harith b. Hisham asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, 'How does the revelation come to you?' He said, 'Sometimes it comes to me like the ringing of a bell, then it leaves me after I have memorized it, and that is the hardest on me. And sometimes the angel comes to me in the form of a young man and delivers it to me.'
