أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
«وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أَرَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ يُنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا كُنَّا بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ وَعَلَيْهِ مُقَطَّعَاتٌ مُتَضَمِّخٌ بِخَلُوقٍ» فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَهْلَلْتُ بِالْعُمْرَةِ وَعَلَيَّ هَذَا فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ فِي حَجِّكَ» قَالَ وَأُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ فَسُجِّيَ بِثَوْبٍ فَدَعَانِي عُمَرُ فَكَشَفَ لِي عَنِ الثَّوْبِ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَغِطُّ مُحْمَرًّا وَجْهُهُ

✧ I wished to see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when revelation was descending upon him. When we were at al-Ji'ranah, a man came to him wearing pieces of cloth and smeared with khaluq perfume, and said, 'I have entered ihram for Umrah while wearing this, so what should I do?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'What would you do in your Hajj?' Then revelation came down upon him, and he was covered with a cloth. Umar called me and uncovered the cloth for me, and I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ snoring with a reddened face.
