Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39299 — What the Prophet (peace and blessings)

Amir said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the Jews and said: "I adjure you by Allah, who sent down the Torah upon Musa: do you find Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) (his attributes) in your books?" The Jews said: "Yes." Sayyiduna Umar said: "Then what prevents you from following him?" The Jews said: "Allah Almighty has not sent any messenger without his having a companion from among the angels. The companion of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is Jibril, and he is the one who comes to him (peace and blessings be upon him). Among the angels, he is our enemy, whereas with Mika'il we are at peace. So if Mika'il were the one who came to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), we would have accepted Islam." Sayyiduna Umar said: "I adjure you by Allah, who sent down the Torah upon Musa: what is the rank and standing of these two angels with the Lord of the worlds?" The Jews said: "Jibril is on the right of Allah Almighty and Mika'il is on the left of Allah Almighty." Sayyiduna Umar said: "Then indeed I bear witness that these two angels descend only by the command of Allah Almighty, and Mika'il is not one to be at peace with the enemies of Jibril, nor is Jibril one to be at peace with the enemies of Mika'il." While Sayyiduna Umar was still with the Jews, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, and the Jews said: "This is your companion, O son of al-Khattab!" So Sayyiduna Umar stood up toward him (peace and blessings be upon him) and came into his (peace and blessings be upon him) presence, and these verses had already been revealed to him (peace and blessings be upon him): "Say: Whoever is an enemy to Jibril, it is he who has brought it down upon your heart by the permission of Allah" up to His words: "then indeed Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers."
