The claim that the Prophet asked Jibril: 'From where do you receive the Qur'an?'

339

Q 1: There is a Hadith that states that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to Jibril (Gabriel): "From where do you receive the Qur'an?" He said: "O Muhammad! There is a hand that is extended to me through covers and gives me the Qur'an. I do not know where it comes from." Some people heard this Hadith from shaykhs. Is it Sahih (authentic)?

A: This Hadith was fabricated by atheists who claimed that it was reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him). You should clarify this to those who are convinced of this Hadith so that they will not be entrapped into the motives of the atheists who fabricated it.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
