Sahih Muslim 174a (Book 1, Hadith 337) #7602
The Vision of Gabriel

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) seeing Gabriel with six hundred wings.

Al-Shaibini reported to us: I asked Zirr b. Hubaish about the words of Allah (the Mighty and Great):" So he was (at a distance) of two bows or nearer" (al-Qur'an, Iiii 8). He said: Ibn Mas'ud informed me that, verily, the Messenger of Allah saw Gabriel and he had six hundred wings.
وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْعَوَّامِ - حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ زِرَّ بْنَ حُبَيْشٍ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ، عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏{‏ فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى‏}‏ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ لَهُ سِتُّمِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the vision of the angel Gabriel by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It was narrated by Al-Shaibini who reported that he asked Zirr b. Hubaish about a verse in the Quran which mentions two bows or nearer distance between Allah and His creation. Zirr then said that Ibn Mas’ud informed him that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ saw Gabriel with six hundred wings. This hadith shows us how close and special the relationship between Allah and His messenger was as He allowed him to witness such a sight which no other human being has seen before or since then. It also teaches us to be humble and grateful for all our blessings from Allah as we are not worthy enough to witness such miracles like this one but still He gives us so much love and mercy every day without fail.
