hakim:5803Abū Isḥāq al-Muzakkī > Abū al-ʿAbbās b. Saʿīd al-Ḥāfiẓ > Yaʿqūb b. Yūsuf b. Ziyād al-Ḍabbī > Abū Ḥafṣ al-Aʿshá

[Machine] "And Jibreel (Gabriel) peace and blessings be upon him, descended to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, 'Which of the two things do you prefer: to remain in the world with your companions or to return to your Lord with what He has promised you of the gardens of bliss with the wide-eyed maidens and the eternal bliss, and whatever your soul desires and your eyes find pleasure in?' So he consulted his companions and they said, 'O Messenger of Allah, it is dearer to us that you are with us, informing us about the plans of our enemies, supplicating to Allah to grant us victory over them, and informing us about news from the heavens.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Why do you not speak, O beloved?' So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, choose whatever your Lord has chosen for you.' So he accepted that from me."
