Seeking Refuge When Reciting the Qur'an

Teaches seeking refuge in Allah from Shaytan before reciting the Qur'an. Answers those who call the Prophet ﷺ an inventor or say a foreigner teaches him: the Pure Spirit brought it in clear Arabic.

Quran16:98–105

So when you recite the Qur’ān, [first] seek refuge in Allāh from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy]. 98 Indeed, there is for him no authority over those who have believed and rely upon their Lord. 99 His authority is only over those who take him as an ally and those who through him associate others with Allāh. 100 And when We substitute a verse in place of a verse - and Allāh is most knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You, [O Muḥammad], are but an inventor [of lies]." But most of them do not know. 101 Say, [O Muḥammad], "The Pure Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] has brought it down from your Lord in truth to make firm those who believe and as guidance and good tidings to the Muslims." 102 And We certainly know that they say, "It is only a human being who teaches him [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)]." The tongue of the one they refer to is foreign, and this [recitation, i.e., Qur’ān] is [in] a clear Arabic language. 103 Indeed, those who do not believe in the verses of Allāh - Allāh will not guide them, and for them is a painful punishment. 104 They only invent falsehood who do not believe in the verses of Allāh, and it is those who are the liars. 105

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "Sometimes it is (revealed) like the ringing of a bell, this form of Inspiration is the hardest of all and then this state passes off after I have grasped what is inspired. Sometimes the Angel comes in the form of a man and talks to me and I grasp whatever he says." 'Aisha added: Verily I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) being inspired divinely on a very cold day and noticed the sweat dropping from his forehead (as the Inspiration was over)

Narrated Anas:The Prophet (ﷺ) delivered a sermon the like of which I had never heard before. He said, "If you but knew what I know then you would have laughed little and wept much."
