[442] 290 - (...) It was narrated that Masrûq said: "I said to 'Āishah: 'What is the meaning of the saying of Allāh, the Most High: Then he approached and came closer. And was at a distance of two bows' length or (even) nearer. So (Allāh) revealed to His slave whatever He revealed.[1] She said: 'That was Jibrīl ﷺ. He used to come to him in the form of a man, but on this occasion he came in the form which was his true form, and he filled the horizon of the sky.'"
290 - (177) وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَشْوَعَ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ: فَأَيْنَ قَوْلُهُ؟ {ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّى فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى فَأَوْحَى إِلَى عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَى} [النجم: 9] قَالَتْ: " إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَأْتِيهِ فِي صُورَةِ الرِّجَالِ، وَإِنَّهُ أَتَاهُ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةِ فِي صُورَتِهِ الَّتِي هِيَ صُورَتُهُ فَسَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاءِ
