Surat al-Muddathir (Arabic: "Chapter of the Cloaked One" or "Chapter of the Man Wearing a Cloak") is the 74th sura of the Qur’an, with 56 ayat. Most Qur’anic historians agree that this surah was part of the early Meccan revelations. Many well known authors’ chronologies place Surat al-Muddaththir as the second surah revealed to the Prophet Muhammed including Ibn Kathir, citing the hadith: “Jabir ibn Abd Allah told, I heard the Messenger of Allah – and he was narrating about the pause in Revelation – so he said in his narration: “I was walking, when I heard a voice from the heavens. So I raised my head, and there was an angel, the one that had come to me at Hira, sitting upon a chair between the heavens and the earth. I fled from him out of fear, and I returned and said: ‘Wrap me up! Wrap me up! So they covered me.” Then Allah, Most High revealed: ‘O you who are wrapped up! Arise and warn.’ Up to His saying: ‘And keep away from the Rujz!’ before the Salat was made obligatory.” --- Updated: 2018-08-18
