Hadith 174
وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْعَوَّامِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ زِرَّ بْنَ حُبَيْشٍ ، عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى سورة النجم آية 9 ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ لَهُ سِتُّ مِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ " .
Al-Shaibini reported to us: I asked Zirr bin Hubaish about the words of Allah (the Mighty and Great):" So he was (at a distance) of two bows or nearer" (al-Qur'an, Iiii 8). He said: Ibn Mas'ud informed me that, verily, the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) saw Gabriel (ؑ) and he had six hundred wings.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ زِرٍّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى سورة النجم آية 11 ، قَالَ : " رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام لَهُ سِتُّ مِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ " .
Al-Shaibani narrated on the authority of Zirr who narrated it on this authority of'Abdullah that the (words of Allah):" The heart belied not what he saw" (al Qur'an, Iiii. 11) imply that he saw Gabriel (ؑ) (peace be upon him) and he had six hundred wings.

حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، سَمِعَ زِرَّ بْنَ حُبَيْشٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : لَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَى سورة النجم آية 18 ، قَالَ : " رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ فِي صُورَتِهِ لَهُ سِتُّ مِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ " .
Zirr bin Hubaish narrated it on the authority of 'Abdullah (that the words of Allah):" Certainly he saw of the greatest signs of Allah" (al-Qur'an, liii. 18) imply that he saw Gabriel (ؑ) in his (original) form and he had six hundred wings.

Hadith Commentary:
In "fa-awha ila abdihi ma awha," the pronoun in "abdihi" refers back to Allah, and the pronoun in "fa-awha" refers to Jibril (alayhis salam). The context of the speech also necessitates this, because "shadid al-quwa" and "dhu mirrah" are attributes of Jibril (alayhis salam). Some have said that the Lord Himself is intended; in that case, both the pronouns in "awha" and "abdihi" would refer back to Allah.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
This revelation was most likely the same as that which comprises the initial verses of Surah al-Muddathir.
This revelation was sent by Jibril (alayhis salam) to Allah’s servant, Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
The position of Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radi Allahu anhu) is that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saw Jibril (alayhis salam), as is also the view of Aisha (radi Allahu anha). Therefore, according to their school, the meaning of the noble verse is that Jibril (alayhis salam) revealed to Allah’s servant.
➋
Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) writes that, according to most commentators, the meaning of this verse is:
Allah, the Exalted, revealed to His servant.
(Fath al-Bari: 8/777)
In this case, both the pronouns in (awha) and (abdihi) refer back to Allah, the Exalted.
And Allah knows best.
