[Machine] I was with my father in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and there was a man next to him who was having a private conversation with him. So, my father was preoccupied with him and did not pay attention to me. When we left, my father said to me, "My son, didn't you see how your cousin ignored me?" I said, "O father, he was with a man who was having a private conversation with him." So, we returned to the Prophet ﷺ , and my father said, "O Messenger of Allah, I said to Abdullah such and such, and he informed me that there was a man with you having a private conversation, so was there anyone with you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Did you see him, O Abdullah?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Indeed, that was Gabriel, and he was the one who kept me occupied from you."
كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ يُنَاجِيهِ فَكَانَ كَالْمُعْرِضِ عَنْ أَبِي فَخَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَقَالَ لِي أَبِي أَيْ بُنَيَّ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَمِّكَ كَالْمُعْرِضِ عَنِّي؟ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَتِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ يُنَاجِيهِ قَالَ فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَبِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ رَجُلٌ يُنَاجِيكَ فَهَلْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ أَحَدٌ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهَلْ رَأَيْتَهُ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّ ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ وَهُوَ الَّذِي شَغَلَنِي عَنْكَ
