[Machine] I was with my father in the presence of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , and there was a man who was whispering to him. So, the Prophet appeared to be distancing himself from my father. When we left, my father said to me, "Did you not see your cousin avoiding me?" I replied, "O father, there was a man with him who was whispering to him." My father asked, "Did he have anyone else with him?" I said, "Yes." We then returned, and my father said to the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah, I said to Abdullah such and such, and he said to me such and such. Was there anyone with you?" The Prophet replied, "Yes, O Abdullah, did you see him?" I said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "That was Gabriel, ﷺ , and he was the one who kept me occupied from you."
كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ يُنَاجِيهِ فَكَانَ كَالْمُعْرِضِ عَنْ أَبِي فَخَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَقَالَ أَبِي أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَمِّكَ كَالْمُعْرِضِ عَنِّي؟ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَهْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ يُنَاجِيهِ فَقَالَ فَكَانَ عِنْدَهُ أَحَدٌ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَرَجَعْنَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا هَلْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ أَحَدٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ رَأَيْتَهُ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ هُوَ الَّذِي شَغَلَنِي عَنْكَ»
