ahmad:2965Yaḥyá b. Ādam > Abū Bakr b. ʿAyyāsh > Idrīs b. Munabbih > Abīh Wahbb. Munabbih > Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ asked Gabriel to show himself to him, so he said, "Call upon your Lord." He then called upon his Lord, and He responded by revealing Himself in a black appearance from the direction of the east. The Prophet ﷺ described that he kept rising higher and spreading. When the Prophet ﷺ saw him, he was struck with awe, so Gabriel came to him, revived him, and wiped the saliva from his cheeks.  

أحمد:٢٩٦٥حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ إِدْرِيسَ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

سَأَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جِبْرِيلَ أَنْ يَرَاهُ فِي صُورَتِهِ فَقَالَ ادْعُ رَبَّكَ قَالَ فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ قَالَ فَطَلَعَ عَلَيْهِ سَوَادٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَرْتَفِعُ وَيَنْتَشِرُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَعِقَ فَأَتَاهُ فَنَعَشَهُ وَمَسَحَ الْبُزَاقَ عَنْ شِدْقِهِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ asked Gabriel to show himself. Gabriel told him to call upon his Lord, so he called upon his Lord and a blackness appeared to him from the direction of the east. He continued to rise and spread out, and when the Prophet ﷺ saw him, he was startled. Gabriel came to him, revived him, and wiped away the saliva from his mouth.
