Jibreel in the presence of the Holy Prophet Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) part 4

Jibreel (May peace be upon him) service in the presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)

As Jibreel (May peace be upon him) is a special servant and doorkeeper of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). He used to hold the reins of His mount as Imam Tabarani (May Allah shower His Mercy on him) relates in his Musnad e Shamiyyeen Vol. 1 Pg. No.. 603:

Translation of Hadith: It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Anas (May Allah be well pleased with him): We were with the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) in a battle. We were going towards a valley. When we started climbing it, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) gave the Takbeer (i.e. Allahu Akbar) and looked at us, smiled and continued. When we reached the middle of the valley, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said the Takbeer, looked at us, smiled and continued going. When we crossed the entire valley, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said the Takbeer, looked at us, smiled and stopped. When all of us gathered, He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) asked us: Do you know why I said the Takbeer and why I looked at you and smiled? We entreated: Allah Ta’ala and His Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) know better than us.

The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: When we were climbing the valley, Jibreel (May peace be upon him) held the reins of my horse and said: O Muhammad, give this glad tiding to your Ummah that whoever dies in the state that he/she testifies, there is none worthy of worship except Allah Ta’ala and Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is His worshipper and Prophet, then Allah Ta’ala will certainly enter that person into Jannah. I said the Takbeer, turned towards you and smiled. Jibreel (May peace be upon him) held the reins and kept walking. After some time Jibreel (May peace be upon him) said: O Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), please accept this glad tiding and convey it to your Ummah that whoever testifies that there is none worthy of worship except Allah Ta’ala and Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is His Prophet, Allaht will enter that into Jannah. I said the Takbeer, turned towards you and smiled. Jibreel (May peace be upon him) kept walking. We covered the entire valley and reached the plain. Then he said: O Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), please accept this glad tiding and convey it to Your Ummah that whoever dies while testifying that there is none worthy of worship except Allah Ta’ala and Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is His Prophet, Allah Ta’ala forbids hell on that person.

Allah Ta’ala sent Jibreel (May peace be upon him) to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) to respect and revere Him

Jibreel (May peace be upon him) came to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) just before He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) passed away into the presence of Allah Ta’ala. It is given in Tabarani and Mawahib-e-Ladunniya:

Translation of Hadith: It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Ali bin Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with him), who in turn heard his father that 3 days before the

Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) passed away into the presence of Allah, Jibreel (May peace be upon him) came to His presence and entreated: O Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), Allah Ta’ala sent me especially to respect and revere You. Then Jibreel (May peace be upon him) asked the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) about His illness. The angel of death requested permission to enter the presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), Jibreel (May peace be upon him) said: This is the angel of death. He requests permission to come into your presence. Before this, he had never requested permission from any Prophet and will never request permission from any human being after this. The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Permit him.

The angel of death entered the presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). He stood with utmost respect and said: Verily Allah Ta’ala has sent me to you and has commanded me to obey whatever you say. If you order that I should draw your blessed soul, I’ll do so. If you order me not to do so, I will refrain.

Jibreel (May peace be upon him) said: O Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), verily Allah Ta’ala wants to meet You. Then the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: O angel of death, do what u have been commanded to do. Jibreel (May peace be upon him) said: O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) this is my last coming to the earth with the Wahi (revelation). There is nothing else except that in this world my and is You only. (M’ojam Kabeer Tabarani, Hadith No. 2821; Al Matalib Ul A’aliyya Li Ibn Hajr ‘Asqalani, Hadith No. 4449;

Propher Jibreel (May peace be upon him) kissing the hands of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)

Zubdatul Muhaddithin Hadhrat Abul Hasanaat Syed Abdullah Shah Sahab Naqshbandi Mujaddidi Qadri (May Allah shower His mercy on him)a Hadith in his Miladnama pg no. 162

Translation of Hadith: Once Jibreel (May peace be upon him) was very ecstatic. He would kiss the hands of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). He would rub his face on the cloak of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) asked him: O Jibreel (May peace be upon him) what is this? Jibreel (May peace be upon him) said: O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), please ask Mikail. Hadhrat Mikail (May peace be upon him) said: O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), when we are not ordered to come to you, we become restless. Today we supplicated to Allah Ta’ala thousands of times. Seeing these humble prayers, other angels (May peace be upon them) asked us: O Jibreel and Mikail, what is this restlessness? We answered: We cannot be satisfied until we see the beauty of Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). What can we do? Because we received permission to come to you after thousands of supplications, that’s why this is our condition.
