The Prophet (P.B.U.H) replied . The angel took hold of him a second time and pressed him until he could not endure it any longer. After letting him go, The angel again said “Recite!”. Again the prophet (P.B.U.H) replied “i cannot read”. The angel further embraced him again until he had reached the limit of endurance and said “Recite!” for the third time the Prophet (P.B.U.H) said “i cannot read”. The angel released him and said “Read in the name of your Lord, The creator, He who created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the most Bounteous. Who taught by the pen , taught man what he knew not.”
