[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "I saw Gabriel on the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary, and he had six hundred wings. I asked Aasim about the wings, but he refused to inform me. Some of his companions told me that the wings span from the east to the west."  

أحمد:٣٨٦٢حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ حَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شَقِيقَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَيْتُ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَى سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى وَلَهُ سِتُّ مِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَاصِمًا عَنِ الْأَجْنِحَةِ؟ فَأَبَى أَنْ يُخْبِرَنِي قَالَ فَأَخْبَرَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنَّ الْجَنَاحَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ
