Hadith 10261

وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَرَ جِبْرِيلَ فِي صُورَتِهِ إِلَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ (أَمَّا مَرَّةً) فَإِنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُرِيَهُ نَفْسَهُ فِي صُورَتِهِ فَأَرَاهُ صُورَتَهُ فَسَدَّ الْأُفُقَ (وَأَمَّا الْأُخْرَى) فَإِنَّهُ صَعِدَ مَعَهُ حِينَ صَعِدَ بِهِ وَقَوْلُهُ {وَهُوَ بِالْأُفُقِ الْأَعْلَى ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّى فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى فَأَوْحَى إِلَى عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَى} [سورة النجم: 7-10] قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ جِبْرِيلُ رَبَّهُ عَادَ فِي صُورَتِهِ وَسَجَدَ فَقَوْلُهُ {وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى عِنْدَهَا جَنَّةُ الْمَأْوَى إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَى مَا زَاغَ الْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَى لَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَى} [سورة النجم: 13-18] قَالَ خَلْقَ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) saw Jibreel (peace be upon him) in his original form twice: once when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) requested him to show his true form, so he showed his original form and filled the horizon; the second time was when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) ascended with him, as Allah Almighty said: And he was at the highest part of the horizon, then he drew near and came down, and was at a distance of two bow-lengths or even nearer, and He revealed to His servant what He revealed. So when Jibreel (peace be upon him) sensed his Lord, he came in his original form and prostrated. The command of Allah Almighty is: He saw him once again, by the lote-tree of the utmost boundary, near which is the Garden of Refuge, when there covered the lote-tree that which covered it. The sight did not swerve nor did it transgress. Indeed, he saw some of the greatest signs of his Lord. He said: This is the creation of Jibreel (peace be upon him).
