112 صحيح حديث عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَأَى رَبَّهُ فَقَدْ أَعْظَمَ، ولكِنْ قد رَأى جِبْرِيلَ فِي صُورَتِهِ، وَخَلْقُهُ سَادٌّ مَا بَيْنَ الأُفُقِ
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that whoever claims that Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace be upon him) saw his Lord, he has uttered a great lie, but he (peace be upon him) saw Jibreel (peace be upon him) (on the night of Mi'raj) in his true form; his being covered the horizon of the sky.

Brief Explanation
Hadith Narrator: Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa, daughter of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq radi Allahu anhuma. She was a great jurist (faqihah). The marriage contract (nikah) with the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam took place in the year of migration (hijrah), but before the actual migration, and the marriage was consummated in the second year after hijrah. The Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to affectionately call her Humaira. She was well-versed in the genealogies of the Arabs, just like her honorable father. She narrated 2,210 ahadith, of which 174 are agreed upon (muttafaqun alayh). She passed away in Madinah Munawwarah in 57 Hijri at the age of 63. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu led her funeral prayer. In accordance with her will, she was buried at night.
