English Translation
Ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked Jibril (peace be upon him) to show himself in his true form. He said: 'Ask your Lord.' So he asked his Lord, and a darkness appeared from the east and began to rise and spread. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) saw him, he fainted. Jibril came to him, revived him, and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
