3277. Ash-Shaībānī said: "I asked Zirr bin Ḥubaish about the saying of Allāh the Mighty and Sublime: And was at a distance of two bow lengths or less."[2] So he said: 'Ibn Mas'ūd informed me that the Prophet ﷺ saw Jibrīl, and he had six-hundred wings.'" (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ĥadīth is Hasan Ṣahīh Gharīb.
٣٢٧٧ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ. قَالَ: «سَأَلْتُ» زِرَّ بْنَ حُبَيْشٍ ، عَنْ قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى} فَقَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ، وَلَهُ سِتُّ مِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ.

According to the context of Sūrat An-Najm, it looks that Jibra'il ﷺ, in his original appearance, came close to the Prophet ﷺ to such extent that the distance between them was equal to the length of two bows or even less. It happened in the earliest era of Prophet hood. He ﷺ saw Jibra'il ﷺ in his original appearance for the second time near Sīdat Al-Muntahā.
