Passage 1
It was narrated by Aisha (RA) that:
Al Harith bin Hisham asked the Messenger of Allah (SAW): How does the revelation come to you? He
said: “like the ringing of a bell, and this is the hardest on me. When it departs, I remember what he
said. And sometimes the Angel Jibreel appears to me in a form of a man and speaks to me, and I
remember what he said”. Aisha said: “I saw him when the revelation came to him on a very cold day,
and his forehead was dripping with sweat”.

Passage 2
Narrated by Al-Miqdam Ibn Ma’dikarib:

find in it to be permissible treat as permissible, and what you find in it to be prohibited treat as
prohibited.
