Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ زِرَّ بْنَ حُبَيْشٍ وَعَلَيَّ دَرْبَانِ فَأُلْقِيَتْ عَلَيَّ مَحَبَّةٌ مِنْهُ وَعِنْدَهُ شَبَابٌ فَقَالُوا لِي سَلْهُ { فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى } فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام وَلَهُ سِتُّ مِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ.
English Translation
Hasan ibn Musa told us, Zuhayr told us, Abu Ishaq al-Shaybani told us, he said: I came to Zirr ibn Hubaysh while I had two cloaks upon me, and affection for him was cast into my heart, and there were young men with him. They said to me, "Ask him: 'so he was at a distance of two bow-lengths or nearer' [Qur'an 53:9]." So I asked him, and he said: 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud told us that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saw Gabriel, upon him be peace, having six hundred wings.
