His (peace be upon him) vision of Gabriel (peace be upon him).

5
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,640
In his true form.

6
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,840
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saw Gabriel (peace be upon him).

7
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:41,439
In the form in which Allah created him, at the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary.

8
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:49,119
Gabriel (peace be upon him) used to come to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in various forms.

9
00:00:49,119 --> 00:00:55,659
Most often, he would come to him in the likeness of Dihyah ibn Khalifah al-Kalbi (may Allah be pleased with him).

10
00:00:55,659 --> 00:00:57,619
Allah the Exalted said:

11
00:00:57,619 --> 00:01:33,299
Ahmad recorded in his Musnad with a sound chain of narration.

12
00:01:33,299 --> 00:01:36,620
On the authority of ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him).

13
00:01:36,659 --> 00:01:38,939
He said regarding this verse:

14
00:01:38,939 --> 00:01:42,060
“And verily he saw him yet another time” (53:13)

15
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:46,859
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

16
00:01:46,859 --> 00:01:50,260
"I saw Gabriel at the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary."

17
00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:52,780
"He had six hundred wings."

18
00:01:52,780 --> 00:01:55,700
"From his feathers, there scattered colors of splendor,"

19
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:58,260
"Pearls and rubies."

20
00:01:58,260 --> 00:02:00,620
Imam al-Bayhaqi said:

21
00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:04,420
"The statement of ‘A’ishah, Ibn Mas‘ud, and Abu Hurayrah,"

22
00:02:04,459 --> 00:02:10,580
"In their interpretation of these verses as referring to his seeing Gabriel (peace be upon him), is the most correct."

23
00:02:10,580 --> 00:02:12,699
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:

24
00:02:12,699 --> 00:02:17,909
"What al-Bayhaqi stated is the truth regarding this matter."

25
00:02:17,909 --> 00:02:19,870
And the saying of the Exalted:

26
00:02:19,870 --> 00:02:22,389
"Then he approached and descended,"

27
00:02:22,389 --> 00:02:25,349
Refers only to Gabriel (peace be upon him).

28
00:02:25,349 --> 00:02:29,870
As is established in the two Sahih collections on the authority of ‘A’ishah, Mother of the Believers.

29
00:02:29,870 --> 00:02:31,669
And on the authority of Ibn Mas‘ud.

30
00:02:31,710 --> 00:02:37,150
