question #1 Sahih Muslim 161b, Book 1, Hadith 312 : What is the significance of the temporary cessation of revelation in the life of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)?

The wahi was intermitted for me for a small span of time and while I was walking, and then the hadith like the one narrated by Yunus was transmitted but with the exception of these words: I was terror-stricken till I fell on the ground. Abu Salama said: Defilement means idols. After this the revelation was speeded up and followed rapidly.
