When the Quran was revealed during Ramadan... what exactly does it say about Isa al Masih?

Traditionally, according to the Surah al Baqara 2:185, Quran was revealed during the month of Ramadan (Arabic) or Ramzan (Persian). Hazrat Mohammad had gone to meditate in a cave in mount Hira where angel Jibreel (Gabriel) grabbed hold of him and squeezed him and commanded Mohammad to “iqra” (read) but Mohammad pleaded that he was ummi (illiterate). (Q. 96:1 96:3-4)

So Jibreel squeezed him even harder and commanded again to read. Later Mohammad told Khadijah, his first wife, a Christian?, about the incidence, who took him to her cousin Waraqa bin Nawfal, the Bishop of Mecca (Muslim scholars claim that Waraqa endorsed Mohammad’s prophet-hood but that is not substantiated by others).

Jibreel then revealed the Quran (recitations) to Hazrat Mohammad, over a period of 23 years.

Interestingly, Allah told Muslims to keep the fast as it was prescribed to those before you (Jews and Christians) that you may learn self-control. Quran 2:183

Obviously the implication here is when the Torah was revealed to Moses and the Injil (Gospel) was revealed to Isa al Masih, after forty days of fasting.
