That’s the ultimate question a former Muslim atheist has to ask himself...
What happened in that cave?
Perhaps the heat and hunger made him hallucinate in the cave?
I think so
Also...
Waraqa bin Naufal who was Khadijas uncle and told Mohamed about Gabriel and the bible.
So in a sense Waraqa is the founder of Islam.
Obviously Waraqa had to say Gabriel because all he did was translate the bible. He said what was familiar to him.
