حَدَّثَنَا طَلْقُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ زِرًّا عَنْ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى ‏{‏فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى * فَأَوْحَى إِلَى عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَى‏}‏ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ لَهُ سِتُّمِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ‏.‏

Narrated Ash-Shaibani:I asked Zirr about the Statement of Allah: 'And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer. So did Allah convey the Inspiration to His slave (Gabriel) and then he (Gabriel) conveyed that to Muhammad.' (53.10) He said, "Abdullah (bin Mas`ud) informed us that Muhammad had seen Gabriel with six hundred wings

Ash-Shaibani bataate hain: Maine Zirr se Allah ke is farmaan ke baare mein pucha, 'Aur wo (fasla) do kamaanon ki lambaai ke barabar ya usse bhi kam tha; to Allah ne apne bande (Jibrael) ko wahi bheji jo unhone (Muhammad ko) pahunchaayi...' (53:10) Unhone kaha, 'Abdullah (bin Masud) ne humein bataaya ke Muhammad (SAW) ne Jibrael ko chhe sau (600) par waale (roop mein) dekha tha.'
