4856 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ زِرًّا، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، {فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى فَأَوْحَى إِلَى عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَى} [النجم: 10]، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، «أَنَّهُ رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ لَهُ سِتُّ مِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ»
