Thanks. A true story, as you know, because I showed the hadees to you not too long ago. You thanked me because it was new to you. If you want others to read your holy book, or to understand it and your prophet, a personal quote coming from a Sunni Muslim would have greater weight than coming from me.
I do know the context, it is a conflicting account of Mohameds reaction to the very first visitation by the spirit.
The conclusion is clear unless you deny the validity of the hadees. He started to climb up to throw himself off. You can also conclude that this was a story told in fondness, but well after the real event because it is different than the more accepted story that it was after about a 3 mile walk back from the cave to his wife in
Mecca where he only mentioned being afraid by an unknown spirit. Someone else wrongly concluded and told him it was from God because Mohamed did not know who/what tossed him around.
I think the full story about Mohamed is he was a average, but sincere man looking for God. He was surprised by a very physical and frightning spiritual event. It clearly upset Mohammed, so much so that one story has him wanting to kill himself by climbing up the mountain to throw himself off, stopped by the same spirit, before returning home to his wife not knowing if it was an evil Jinn, or god that he saw. She tries to calm him down and for advice goes to her old Christian uncle who says it must be from God and tells Mohamed his is a prophet. The haddess reports Mohamed asks a questuion that can be see to have been fulfilled prophecy when viewed later. The Christian unlce never converted, and neither did his childhood protector.
The spirit from the cave didn’t show up again for another 3 years!
