cool it with water (or Zam-zam water).”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
That she asked the Prophet , ‘Have you encountered a day harder than the day of the battle) of
Uhud?” The Prophet replied, “Your tribes have troubled me a lot, and the worse trouble was the
trouble on the day of ‘Aqaba when I presented myself to Ibn ‘Abd-Yalail bin ‘Abd-Kulal and he did
not respond to my demand. So I departed, overwhelmed with excessive sorrow, and proceeded on,
and could not relax till I found myself at Qarnath-Tha-alib where I lifted my head towards the sky
to see a cloud shading me unexpectedly. I looked up and saw Gabriel in it. He called me saying, ‘Al –
lah has heard your people’s saying to you, and what they have replied back to you, Allah has sent the
Angel of the Mountains to you so that you may order him to do whatever you wish to these people.’
The Angel of the Mountains called and greeted me, and then said, “O Muhammad! Order what you
wish. If you like, I will let Al-Akh-Shabain (i.e. two mountains) fall on them.” The Prophet said, “No
but I hope that Allah will let them beget children who will worship Allah Alone, and will worship
None besides Him.”

I asked Zir bin Hubaish regarding the Statement of Allah: “And was at a distance Of but two bow-
lengths Or (even) nearer; So did (Allah) convey The Inspiration to His slave (Gabriel) and then he
(Gabriel) Conveyed (that to Muhammad). (53.9-10) On that, Zir said, “Ibn Mas’ud informed us that
the Prophet had seen Gabriel having 600 wings.”

Whoever claimed that (the Prophet) Muhammad saw his Lord, is committing a great fault, for he
only saw Gabriel in his genuine shape in which he was created covering the whole horizon.

I asked Aisha “What about His Statement:– “Then he (Gabriel) approached And came closer, And
was at a distance Of but two bow-lengths Or (even) nearer?” (53.8-9) She replied, “It was Gabriel
who used to come to the Prophet in the figure of a man, but on that occasion, he came in his actual
and real figure and (he was so huge) that he covered the whole horizon.”
