" ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَهُوَ يُقْرِئُكِ السَّلَامَ " . قَالَتْ : وَعَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ ، جَزَاهُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا مِنْ صَاحِبٍ وَدَخِيلٍ ، فَنِعْمَ الصَّاحِبُ ، وَنِعْمَ الدَّخِيلُ ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : الدَّخِيلُ : الضَّيْفُ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placing his hand on the head of a horse and talking to a man. Later, I submitted, "I saw you with your hand on the head of Dihya Kalbi's horse, talking to a man." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Did you see him?" I replied, "Yes!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "That was Jibreel (Gabriel), and he was conveying greetings of peace to you." I replied, "And peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon him." May Allah reward him with goodness, that is, both the host and the guest—how excellent is the host and how excellent is the guest.
