Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Jibreel (peace be upon him) was sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he looked towards the sky, and suddenly a certain angel was descending from above. Jibreel (peace be upon him) said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): This angel, since the time he was created, has never come down to the earth until now. When he came, he said: O Muhammad! Your Lord has sent me to you with this message: He will make you a king or a servant and Messenger? Jibreel (peace be upon him) said to you (peace and blessings be upon him): O Muhammad! (peace and blessings be upon him) Show humility to your Lord. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I wish to be Allah’s servant and Messenger.
