[Machine] Haritha ibn Al-Nu'man passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and with him was Jibril ﷺ , whispering to him. But Haritha did not greet him with the Islamic greeting, so Jibril ﷺ said, "What prevented you from greeting him? If you had greeted him, I would have returned the greeting to you." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Who are the eighty?" Jibril replied, "People flee from you except for eighty, who will become their sustenance and the sustenance of their children in Paradise, provided by Allah." When Haritha returned, he greeted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Didn't you greet me when you passed by?" Haritha said, "I saw someone with you and I did not want to interrupt your conversation." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Did you see him?" Haritha replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "That was Jibril, and he said this." Then he informed Haritha of what Jibril had said.
