Allah then said,
[إِنَّا سَنُلْقِى
عَلَيْكَ قَوْلاً ثَقِيلاً ]
(Verily, We shall send down to you a Word Thaqil.) Al-Hasan and Qatadah both
said, "The actions with it.'' It has also been said that it means it will be
heavy at the time of its revelation due to its magnificence. This is similar to
what Zayd bin Thabit said. He said, "The Messenger of Allah received some
revelation while his thigh was on top of my thigh, and my thigh was almost
crushed due to it.'' Imam Ahmad recorded from `Abdullah bin `Amr that he said,
"I asked the Prophet , `O Messenger of Allah! Do you feel anything when
revelation comes (to you)' The Messenger of Allah replied,
«أَسْمَعُ صَلَاصِلَ
ثُمَّ أَسْكُتُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَمَا مِنْ مَرَّةٍ يُوحَى إِلَيَّ إِلَّا ظَنَنْتُ
أَنَّ نَفْسِي تُقْبَض»
(I hear a ringing and then I remain quiet when that occurs. There has not
been a single time that revelation has come to me except that I thought that my
soul was about to be taken (death).)'' Ahmad was alone in narrating this. In the
beginning of Sahih Al-Bukhari, it is recorded from `A'ishah that Al-Harith bin
Hisham asked the Messenger of Allah , "How does the revelation come to you'' The
Prophet replied,
«أَحْيَانًا يَأْتِي
فِي مِثْلِ صَلْصَلَةِ الْجَرَسِ وَهُوَ أَشَدُّهُ عَلَيَّ، فَيُفْصَمُ عَنِّي
وَقَدْ وَعَيْتُ عَنْهُ مَا قَالَ، وَأَحْيَانًا يَتَمَثَّلُ لِي الْمَلَكُ رَجُلًا
فَيُكَلِّمُنِي فَأَعِي مَا يَقُول»
(Sometimes it comes to me like the ringing of a bell, and it is most severe
upon me. Then this state passes away from me after I have grasped what is
inspired. Sometimes the angel comes to me in the form of a man and talks to me
and I grasp whatever he says.) `A'ishah added, "Verily, I saw him receiving
revelation and I noticed the sweat dropping from his forehead on a very cold day
as the revelation ended.'' This is the wording recorded by Al-Bukhari. Imam
Ahmad recorded from `A'ishah that she said, "If the Messenger of Allah received
any revelation while he was on his riding animal, it would begin moving its
Jiran intensely.'' The Jiran is the bottom of the neck. Ibn Jarir chose the
interpretation that it (the revelation) is heavy in both ways simultaneously.
This is as `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said, "Just as it is heavy in this
world, it will also be heavy on the Day of Judgement in the Scales.''
