4731. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهما: The Prophet ﷺ said to Jibrīl (Gabriel), “What prevents you from visiting us more often than you visit us now?” So there was revealed: “And we (angels) descend not except by the Command of your Lord (O Muḥammad ﷺ). To Him belongs what is before us and what is behind us...” (V.19:64)
