Sahih Muslim 2353e (Book 43, Hadith 162) #13187
The Prophet's Revelation

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) heard the voice of Gabriel and saw his radiance for seven years before receiving revelation for ten years. He stayed in Mecca for fifteen years and Medina for ten years.

Ibn 'Abbas reported that Allah's Messenger stayed in Mecca for fifteen years (after his advent as a Prophet) and he heard the voice of Gabriel and saw his radiance for seven years but did not see any visible form, and then received revelation for ten years, and he stayed in Medina for ten years.
وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِمَكَّةَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً يَسْمَعُ الصَّوْتَ وَيَرَى الضَّوْءَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ وَلاَ يَرَى شَيْئًا وَثَمَانَ سِنِينَ يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ وَأَقَامَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about the Prophet Muhammad's experience with revelation. For fifteen years he lived in Mecca and heard the voice of Gabriel and saw his radiance but did not see any visible form. After that he received revelation from Allah for ten more years before moving to Medina where he stayed for another ten years. This hadith teaches us that Allah is always with us even when we cannot see Him or feel His presence directly; He will always guide us if we are patient enough to listen to Him. It also shows us how important it is to be patient when waiting on Allah's guidance as it took twenty five long years before the Prophet received his first revelation from God Almighty!
