She set out with the Prophet (Peace be upon him) to her cousin Waraqa bin Nawfal bin Asad bin ‘Abd
Al-‘Uzza, who had embraced Christianity in the pre-Islamic period, and used to write the Bible in
Hebrew. He was a blind old man. Khadijah said: “My cousin! Listen to your nephew!” Waraqa said: “O  my nephew! What did you see?” The Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) told him what had  happened to him. Waraqa replied: “This is ‘Namus’ i.e. (the angel who is entrusted with Divine
Secrets)  that Allâh sent to Moses. I wish I were younger. I wish I could live up to the time when your people  would turn you out.” Muhammad (Peace be upon him) asked: “Will they drive me out?” Waraqa  answered in the affirmative and said: “Anyone who came with something similar to what you have  brought was treated with hostility; and if I should be alive till that day, then I would support you  strongly.” A few days later Waraqa died and the revelation also subsided.
At-Tabari and Ibn Hisham reported that the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) left the cave of
Hira’ after being surprised by the Revelation, but later on, returned to the cave and continued his  solitude. Afterwards, he came back to Makkah. At-Tabari reported on this incident, saying:
After mentioning the coming of the Revelation, the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) said: “I  have never abhorred anyone more than a poet or a mad man. I can not stand looking at either of  them.
I will never tell anyone of Quraish of my Revelation. I will climb a mountain and throw myself down  and  die. That will relieve me. I went to do that but halfway up the mountain, I heard a voice from the sky  saying ‘O Muhammad! You are the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) and I am Gabriel.’ I looked  upwards and saw Gabriel in the form of a man putting his legs on the horizon. He said: ‘O Muhammad
You are the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) and I am Gabriel.’ I stopped and looked at him.
His sight distracted my attention from what I had intended to do. I stood in my place transfixed. I  tried  to shift my eyes away from him. He was in every direction I looked at. I stopped in my place without  any movement until Khadijah sent someone to look for me. He went down to Makkah and came back  while I was standing in the same place. Gabriel then left, and I went back home. I found Khadijah at  home, so I sat very close to her. She asked: ‘Father of Al-Qasim! Where have you been? I sent  someone to look for you. He went to Makkah and returned to me.’ I told her of what I had seen. She  replied: ‘It is a propitious sign, O my husband. Pull yourself together, I swear by Allâh that you are a
Messenger for this nation.’ Then she stood up and went to Waraqa and informed him. Waraqa said: ‘I  swear by Allâh that he has received the same Namus, i.e. angel that was sent to Moses. He is the
Prophet of this nation. Tell him to be patient.’ She came back to him and told him of Waraqa’s words.
When the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon him) finished his solitary stay and went down to Makkah,  he went to Waraqa, who told him: ‘You are the Prophet of this nation. I swear by Allâh that you have  received the same angel that was sent to Moses.’”
INTERRUPION OF REVELATION:
Ibn Sa‘d reported on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas that the Revelation paused for a few days.After  careful  study, this seems to be the most possible. To say that it lasted for three and a half years, as some  scholars allege, is not correct, but here there is no room to go into more details.
Meanwhile, the Prophet (Peace be upon him), was caught in a sort of depression coupled with  astonishment and perplexity. Al-Bukhari reported:
The Divine inspiration paused for a while and the Prophet (Peace be upon him) became so sad, as we  have heard, that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains, and  every  time he went up the top of a mountain in order to throw himself down, Gabriel would appear before  him  and say: “O Muhammad! You are indeed Allâh’s Messenger in truth,” whereupon his heart would  become quiet and he would calm down and return home. Whenever the period of the coming of the
Revelation used to become long, he would do as before, but Gabriel would appear again before him  and  say to him what he had said before.
ONCE, GABRIEL BRINGS ALLAH'S REVELATION:
Ibn Hajar said: ‘That (the pause of Allâh’s revelation for a few days) was to relieve the Messenger of
Allâh (Peace be upon him) of the fear he experienced and to make him long for the Revelation. When  the shades of puzzle receded, the flags of truth were raised, the Messenger of Allâh (Peace be upon  him) knew for sure that he had become the Messenger of the Great Lord. He was also certain that
