حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ وَيَزِيدُ قَالَ أَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ عَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ (قَالَ يَزِيدُ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ) قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِي أُرِيدُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِهِ قَائِمٌ وَرَجُلٌ مَعَهُ مُقْبِلٌ عَلَيْهِ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ لَهُمَا حَاجَةً قَالَ فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى جَعَلْتُ أَرْثِي لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ طُولِ الْقِيَامِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ قَامَ بِكَ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى جَعَلْتُ أَرْثِي لَكَ مِنْ طُولِ الْقِيَامِ قَالَ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَتَدْرِي مَنْ هُوَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مَا زَالَ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ سَلَّمْتَ عَلَيْهِ رَدَّ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ
It is narrated from an Ansari man, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: I left my house with the intention of meeting the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. When I reached him, I saw that a man was engaged with him. I thought that they must have some need. By Allah! The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood for so long that I began to feel pity for him. Anyway, when that man left, I said: O Messenger of Allah! That man kept you standing for so long that I began to feel pity for you. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Did you see him? I said: Yes. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do you know who he was? I said: No. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: That was Jibreel, peace be upon him. He advised me so much about the neighbor that I began to think he would soon make him an heir as well. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: If you had greeted him, he would have replied to your greeting.
