Did Muhammad Live Up to the Test?

Up There in the Mountain-Part 3

clipped from www.readingislam.com The revelation through Gabriel stopped for a while but the Prophet was not desperate and knew that God would not fail him. Picture © Microsoft.com When the Prophet reached home after his sojourn in the mountain cave, his wife noticedthat he was off-color, which was natural after all the excitement of his first encounter with the Angel Gabriel The Prophet's wife took off her head cover infront of Gabriel and he immediately disappeared. The revelation to the Prophet took different shapes  ranging from an inspiration in a dream to a heavy ringing sound which was the hardest on the Prophet.  "As I was walking, I heard a voice from heaven. I lifted my eyes and I saw an angel sitting on a chair raised between heaven and earth. I sat down in terror and fell" Said the Prophet. From now on, Muhammad was not only a Prophet, he was also a Messenger. From now on, he was to receive revelations without worrying interruptions.
