quran:53:7 –

While he was in the higher ˹part of the˺ horizon.  

when he was on the highest horizon, the horizon of the sun, that is to say, at the place from which it rises, in the form in which he ˹Gabriel˺ was created, so that the Prophet (s) saw him; he ˹the Prophet˺ had been at ˹Mount˺ Hirā’, where Gabriel had obscured the entire horizon to the west. The Prophet fell down swooning, after he had asked him ˹Gabriel˺ to show himself to him in the form in which he was created. Thus Gabriel had made a tryst with him at Hirā’, where he came down to him in human form.
القرآن:٥٣:٧ –

وَهُوَ بِالْأُفُقِ الْأَعْلَىٰ  

{وهو بالأفق الأعلى} أفق الشمس، أي عند مطلعها على صورته التي خلق عليها فرآه النبي ﷺ وكان بحراء قد سد الأفق إلى المغرب فخر مغشيا عليه وكان قد سأله أن يريه نفسه على صورته التي خلق عليها فواعده بحراء فنزل جبريل له في سورة الآدميين.
