Sahih al-Bukhari 7455 (Book 97, Hadith 81) #7158
The Visit of the Angels

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad asked Gabriel why he does not visit them more often, and this verse was revealed in response.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said, "O Gabriel, what prevents you. from visiting us more often than you do?" Then this Verse was revealed:--'And we angels descend not but by Command of your Lord. To Him belongs what is before us and what is behind us'. (19:64) So this was the answer to Muhammad.
حَدَّثَنَا خَلاَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ ذَرٍّ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَا جِبْرِيلُ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَزُورَنَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا تَزُورُنَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَنَزَلَتْ ‏{‏وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلاَّ بِأَمْرِ رَبِّكَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا‏}‏ إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا كَانَ الْجَوَابَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ‏.‏
