حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ الْمُسْتَمْلِي، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، قَالَا: ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْكِنْدِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ أَبِي الْكَهْتَلَةِ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: أَظُنُّهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَرَ جِبْرِيلَ فِي صُورَتِهِ إِلَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ - قَالَ - أَمَّا مَرَّةٌ فَإِنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُرِيَهُ نَفْسَهُ فِي صُورَتِهِ، فَأَرَاهُ، فَأَتَاهُ يَسُدُّ الْأُفُقَ، وَأَمَّا الثَّانِيَةُ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَهُ إِذْ صَعِدَ، فِي قَوْلِهِ {ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّى، فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى، فَأَوْحَى إِلَى عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَى} [النجم: ٩] ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ حَسَّ جِبْرِيلُ رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَادَ فِي صُورَتِهِ، فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى، عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ} [النجم: ١٣] الْمُنْتَهَى، عِنْدَهَا جَنَّةُ الْمَأْوَى إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {لَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَى} [النجم: ١٨] ، قَالَ: «خَلْقِ جِبْرِيلَ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) (the narrator thinks it is narrated from him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Jibril (peace be upon him) in his true form only twice. He said: As for the first time, he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him to show himself to him in his true form, and he showed him; so he came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) filling the horizon. As for the second time, he was with him when he (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended, (which is mentioned) in the saying of Allah Almighty: "Then he drew near and came down, and was at a distance of two bow-lengths or even nearer. Then He revealed to His servant what He revealed" [Surah al-Najm: 9]. Then when Jibril (peace be upon him) sensed (the nearness of) his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, he returned to his true form. This is what is meant by the saying of Allah Almighty: "And he certainly saw him (Jibril) another time (in his true form), at the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary" [Surah al-Najm: 13] "near which is the Garden of Refuge", up to the saying of Allah Almighty: "He certainly saw (one) of the greatest signs of his Lord" [Surah al-Najm: 18]. He said: "That was (the sign of) the (true) form of Jibril (peace be upon him)."
