‘Ubādah ibn As-Sāmit (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) received revelation, he felt distressed and the color of his face changed
Whenever the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) received revelation, he would experience hardship and distress to the extent that the color of his face would change due to the gravity and difficulty of that matter. Besides, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) paid much attention and care to the revelation and showed great awe to whatever he was asked to observe, such as fulfilling the rights of servitude, showing due gratefulness to Allah, the Almighty, and glorifying His commands and reports.
Explanation in Arabic
كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا نزل عليه الوحي أصابه الكرب والشدة لذلك وتغير وجهه؛ لثقل نزول الوحي وصعوبة حصوله، وقد كان صلى الله عليه وسلم يهتم بأمر الوحي أشد الاهتمام، ويهاب مما يطالَب به من حقوق العبودية والقيام بشكر الله تعالى ويعظم أمر الله -تعالى وخبره.
ما كان يحصل للنبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم- من الكرب والتغير أثناء نزول الوحي؛ لعظم موقعه, كما قال الله -تعالى-: {إنا سنلقي عليك قولًا ثقيلًا}.
في هذا الحديث بيان أحد الصفات التي كان ينزل بها الوحي على النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.
