It is narrated on the authority of Jabir b. Abdullah that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) says
The wahi was intermitted for me for a small span of time and while I was walking , and then the hadith like the one narrated by Yunus was transmitted but with the exception of these words : I was terror-stricken till I fell on the ground. Abu Salama said : Defilement means idols. After this the revelation was speeded up and followed rapidly. This hadith , the like of one narrated by Yunus has also been transmitted by Ma'mar on the authority of al-Zuhri who narrated : Allah the Most Glorious and Exalted revealed this : " You who are shrouded , arise and deliver warning , your Lord magnify , your clothes cleanse and defilement shun , " before making the prayer obligatory. I felt terror-stricken as narrated by Uqail.
