(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ ، قَالَ : وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : " جَلَسَ جِبْرِيلُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ، فَإِذَا مَلَكٌ يَنْزِلُ ، فَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ : إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَلَكَ مَا نَزَلَ مُنْذُ يَوْمِ خُلِقَ قَبْلَ السَّاعَةِ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ ، قَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ ، قَالَ : أَفَمَلِكًا نَبِيًّا يَجْعَلُكَ ، أَوْ عَبْدًا رَسُولًا ؟ قَالَ جِبْرِيلُ : تَوَاضَعْ لِرَبِّكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، قَالَ : بَلْ عَبْدًا رَسُولًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) was sitting in the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when suddenly his gaze fell upon the sky and he saw that an angel was descending. He said to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "This angel, since the time he was created until now, has never descended to the earth before this moment." When he descended, he said, "O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), your Lord has sent me to you with this message: He will grant you prophethood by making you an angel, or grant you messengership by making you His servant?" Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) submitted, "O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), adopt humility before your Lord." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "No, rather grant me messengership by making me a servant."
