[[From Bukhari]] 6.480: Narrated `Aisha: The commencement of (the Divine Inspirations to) Allah's Apostle was in the form of true dreams. The Angel came to him and said, "Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created all exists), has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is Most Generous, Who has taught (the writing) by the pen (the first person to write was Prophet Idris. (96.1-4) [[
Prophet Idris or Enoch (Peace be upon him) -First Prophet to be Taught to Write with Pen
Not much is known or mentioned about the Prophet Idris (Enoch) pbuh except in the following verses of the Quran:
Also mention in the Book the case of Idris: He was a man of truth (and sincerity), (and) a prophet: -19:56
And We raised him to a lofty station. -19:57
Those were some of the prophets on whom Allah did bestow His Grace,- of the posterity of Adam, and of those who We carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom We guided and chose. Whenever the Signs of (Allah) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them, they would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears. -19:58
And (remember) Isma'il, Idris, and Zul-kifl, all (men) of constancy and patience; -21:85
We admitted them to Our mercy: for they were of the righteous ones. -21:86
These Prophets are the Chosen Ones
Allah, the Exalted, says that these Prophets (were favored), but this does not mean only these Prophets who were mentioned in this Surah. Rather, it is referring to all of those who were Prophets. Allah merely changes the implication of the discussion from specific individuals to the entire group of Prophets.
(And that was our proof which We gave Ibrahim against his people. We raise whom We will in degrees. Certainly your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing. And We bestowed upon him Ishaq and Ya`qub, each of them We guided; and before him We guided Nuh, and among his progeny Dawud, Sulayman, Ayyub, Yusuf, Musa and Harun. Thus do We reward the doers of good. And Zakariyya, and Yahya, and `Isa and Ilyas, each one of them was of the righteous. And Isma`il and Al-Yasa` and Yunus and Lut and each one of them We preferred above the `Alamin. And also some of their fathers and their progeny and their brethern, We chose them, and We guided them to the straight path.)[6:83-87]
Until Allah's statement, (They are those whom Allah had guided. So follow their guidance.) [6: 90] Allah, the Exalted, says, (Of some of them We have related to you their story. And of some We have not related to you their story.) [40:78] In Sahih Al-Bukhari it is reported from Mujahid that he asked Ibn `Abbas, "Is there a prostration in Surah Sad'' Ibn `Abbas replied, "Yes.'' Then he recited, (They are those whom Allah had guided. So follow their guidance.) [6:90]
Ibn `Abbas then said, "So your Prophet is one of those who have been commanded to follow them. And he is of those who should be followed.'' -- referring to Dawud. Allah, the Exalted, said in this noble Ayah, (When the Ayah of the Most Gracious were recited unto them, they fell down prostrate and weeping.) This means that when they heard the Words of Allah, mentioning His proofs and evidences, they prostrated to their Lord in humility, humbleness, praise and thanks for the great favors they were blessed with. The word Bukiyan at the end of the Ayah means those who are crying, and it is the plural of Baki. Due to this the scholars agree that it is legislated to prostrate upon reading this Ayah, in following them and adhering to their manner of worship.
