[Machine] I was with my father in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and there was a man who would have private conversations with him. He seemed to avoid me, so when we left, my father said to me, "Did you not see your cousin? He seemed to avoid me." I said, "O father, there was a man with him who would have private conversations with him." My father asked, "Did he have anyone else with him?" I replied, "Yes." So we went back and my father said to the Prophet, "I told Abdullah this and he said that to me, and did you have someone else with you?" The Prophet replied, "Yes, and did you see him, O Abdullah?" I said, "Yes." He said, "That was Gabriel, he was the one who kept me occupied from you."
كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَعِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ يُنَاجِيهِ وَكَانَ كَالْمُعْرِضِ عَنْ أَبِي فَخَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدَهِ فَقَالَ لِي أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَمِّكَ كَانَ كَالْمُعْرِضِ عَنِّي فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَهْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ يُنَاجِيهِ فَقَالَ وَكَانَ عِنْدَهُ أَحَدٌ؟ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَرَجَعْنَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا وَكَانَ عِنْدَكَ أَحَدٌ؟ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ ورَأَيْتُهُ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ هُوَ الَّذِي شَغَلَنِي عَنْكَ»
