حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ الأَشْوَعِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ فَأَيْنَ قَوْلُهُ ‏{‏ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّى * فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى‏}‏ قَالَتْ ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ كَانَ يَأْتِيهِ فِي صُورَةِ الرَّجُلِ، وَإِنَّهُ أَتَاهُ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ فِي صُورَتِهِ الَّتِي هِيَ صُورَتُهُ، فَسَدَّ الأُفُقَ.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
মাসরূক (রহ.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি ‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ)-কে আল্লাহর বাণীঃ ‘‘তারপর সে তার নিকটবর্তী হল এবং অতি নিকটবর্তী হল, অবশেষে তাদের মধ্যে দুই ধনুকের দূরত্ব রইল অথবা আরও কম’’ (আন্-নাজম ৮, ৯)-এর অর্থ সম্পর্কে জিজ্ঞেস করলাম। তিনি বললেন, তিনি জিব্রাঈল (আঃ) ছিলেন। তিনি সাধারণত মানুষের আকার নিয়ে তাঁর নিকট আসতেন। কিন্তু এবার তিনি নিকটে এসেছিলেন তাঁর আসল চেহারা নিয়ে। তখন তিনি আকাশের সম্পূর্ণ দিকচক্রবাল আবৃত করে ফেলেছিলেন। (৩২৩৪) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৯৯৫, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
