Muhammad's first revelation was the event in which Muhammad was visited by the Arch-angel Gabriel who revealed to him a verse from the Quran. This happened in Hira cave. According to biographies of Muhammad, the Arch-angel Gabriel appears to him and commands him to recite the first lines of chapter 96 of the Quran.
"It is a revelation which has been revealed to him (4) and taught to him by the great mighty one (5) One strong, then he stood straight (6) and he appeared on the uppermost horizon (7) He then came nearer and nearer (8) until he was as close to him as the distance of two bows, or even less. (9)"
