Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam's) first meeting with Jibreel (alaihis salaam)
Question
I have a strange question. When the first Quranic verse was revealed, why Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) did not recognize Jibreel (alaihis salaam) the angel but Khadija (radhiyallahu anha), the first wife of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) recognized the angel and what made her open her hair, she had never met and seen the Angel Jibreel. Could you please clear this thing?
Answer
The first verses were revealed in the cave of Hira and Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was alone at that time.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
