Musnad Abi Ya'la 6105 — Jibril (peace be upon him) was sitting
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : جَلَسَ جِبْرِيلُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَنَظَرَ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا مَلَكٌ يَنْزِلُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ : إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَلَكَ مَا نَزَلَ مُذْ خُلِقَ قَبْلَ السَّاعَةِ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ ، قَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ أَمَلِكًا أَجْعَلُكَ ، أَمْ عَبْدًا رَسُولًا ؟ قَالَ لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ : تَوَاضَعْ لِرَبِّكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، قَالَ : لَا بَلْ عَبْدًا رَسُولًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Jibril (peace be upon him) was sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he looked up at the sky, and suddenly an angel was seen descending. At this Jibril (peace be upon him) said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): "This is an angel who has never descended since he was created, before this hour." Then when that angel descended, he said: "O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Your Lord has sent me to you with this message: shall I make you a king, or a servant and messenger?" Then Jibril (peace be upon him), advising him (peace and blessings be upon him), said: "O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Be humble before your Lord." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather (I prefer to be) a servant and messenger."
