حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَارٍ فَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا فَأَخَذْتُهَا مِنْ فِيهِ وَإِنَّ فَاهُ لَرَطْبٌ بِهَا فَلَا أَدْرِي بِأَيِّهَا خَتَمَ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ أَوْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ ارْكَعُوا لَا يَرْكَعُونَ سَبَقَتْنَا حَيَّةٌ فَدَخَلَتْ فِي جُحْرٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا وَوُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3574
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (RA) said: We were with the Prophet (PBUH) in the cave and 'By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah) sent forth one after another" [al-Mursalat 77] was revealed to him. I learned it from his lips when it was fresh (had just been revealed), but I do not know with which words he ended it, "Then in what statement after this (the Qur'an) will they believe?" [v. 50] or "And when it is said to them: 'Bow down yourself (in prayer)!' They bow not down (offer not their prayers)" [v. 48]. A snake got away from us and entered a hole, and the Prophet (PBUH) said: "You have been protected from its evil and it has been protected from your evil."
