حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَكَّةَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً سَبْعَ سِنِينَ يَرَى الضَّوْءَ وَالنُّورَ وَيَسْمَعُ الصَّوْتَ وَثَمَانِيَ سِنِينَ يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ وَأَقَامَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2847
It was narrated that Ibn ‘ Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) stayed in Makkah for fifteen years, seven years during which he saw a light and heard a voice, and eight years during which Revelation came to him. And he stayed in Madinah for ten [years].
