Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 14211

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " لَقَدْ هَبَطَ عَلَيَّ مَلَكٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَا هَبَطَ عَلَى نَبِيٍّ قَبْلِي ، وَلَا يَهْبِطُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ بَعْدِي ، وَهُوَ إِسْرَافِيلُ ، وَعِنْدَهُ جِبْرِيلُ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ - فَقَالَ : السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، أَنَا رَسُولُ رَبِّكَ إِلَيْكَ ، أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُخَيِّرَكَ إِنْ شِئْتَ نَبِيًّا عَبْدًا ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ نَبِيًّا مَلِكًا ؟ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ - فَأَوْمَأَ جِبْرِيلُ إِلَيَّ : أَنْ تَوَاضَعْ " . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ : " لَوْ أَنِّي قُلْتُ : نَبِيًّا مَلِكًا ; لَسَارَتِ الْجِبَالُ مَعِي ذَهَبًا " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَابْلُتِّيُّ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "An angel descended from the sky who had not descended upon any prophet before me, and will not descend upon anyone after me. He is Israfil (peace be upon him), and Jibril (peace be upon him) was with him too. He said: Peace be upon you, O Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! I am your Lord's messenger to you. He has commanded me to give you the choice: if you wish, become a 'servant' prophet, and if you wish, become a 'king' prophet. I looked towards Jibril (peace be upon him), and Jibril (peace be upon him) signalled to me that I should adopt humility! At that time the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Had I said that I would become a 'king' prophet, the mountains would have turned to 'gold' and gone along with me."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration; its chain contains a narrator, Yahya bin Abdullah al-Babluti, who is da'if (weak).
