(1594) bukhari:3634ʿAbbās b. al-Walīd al-Narsī > Muʿtamir from my father > Abū ʿUthmān > Unbiʾt

I got the news that Gabriel came to the Prophet ﷺ while Um Salama was present. Gabriel started talking (to the Prophet ﷺ and then left. The Prophet ﷺ said to Um Salama, "(Do you know) who it was?" (or a similar question). She said, "It was Dihya (a handsome person amongst the companions of the Prophet ﷺ )." Later on Um Salama said, "By Allah! I thought he was none but Dihya, till I heard the Prophet ﷺ talking about Gabriel in his sermon." (The Sub-narrator asked Abu ʿUthman, "From where have you heard this narration?" He replied, "From Usama bin Zaid.")
