Hadith 82
It is narrated from Shaibani, he says: I asked Zar bin Hubaish (may Allah be pleased with him) about the saying of Allah Almighty, "Then he drew near, and came down, till he was at a distance of two bows' length or even nearer" (__QUR_N__, Surah An-Najm: 9), so he said that Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Jibreel (Gabriel), and he had six hundred wings.
