[Machine] Gabriel, peace be upon him, came to the Prophet, upon him be peace, in the most beautiful form that he had never appeared in before, laughing and giving glad tidings. He greeted the Prophet, saying, "Peace be upon you, O Muhammad." The Prophet replied, "And peace be upon you, O Gabriel." Gabriel said, "Indeed, Allah has sent me to you with a gift from the treasures of the Throne, which Allah has honored you with." The Prophet asked, "And what is this gift, O Gabriel?" Gabriel replied, "Say: O One who manifests beauty and conceals ugliness, O One who does not take account of the garment nor expose the defects, O Mighty in forgiving, O One who pardons gracefully, O One who extends His hands with mercy, O Companion of every secret and the end of every complaint, O Generous in forgiveness, O Great in beneficence, O Initiator of blessings before they are deserved, O Our Lord, O Our Master, O Our Protector, O the ultimate goal of our desires. I ask You, O Allah, not to burn my creation with fire." The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, asked, "What is the reward for these words?" Then he mentioned the rest of the narration after the supplication, at length.
