It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Winter is the spring for the believer.

Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, drought is not that rain does not fall, rather drought is that the sky sends down rain but the earth does not produce anything.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The angels were created from light, and the jinn were created from a blazing flame of fire, and Adam (peace be upon him) was created from that which has already been made clear to you.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, what I see, you cannot see, and what I hear, you cannot hear. (Listen!) The sky creaks, and it is right for it to creak, because there is not even a space of four fingers where there is not an angel prostrating. By Allah! If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much, you would abandon enjoying your wives on your beds, and you would go out to the hills beseeching (Allah). Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! I wish I were a tree that would be cut down.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The prophets were presented before me. Musa (peace be upon him) was a man of moderate stature; he looked like the people of the Shanu’ah tribe. I saw ‘Isa (peace be upon him); he resembled ‘Urwah bin Mas‘ud the most. I saw Ibrahim (peace be upon him); he resembled your own companion the most—by this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) meant himself. And I saw Jibril (peace be upon him); he resembled Dihyah the most.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Jibreel (peace be upon him) in his original form; he had six hundred wings, each of which filled the horizon. From his wings, things of various colors, pearls, and rubies were falling, which only Allah Almighty knows best.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) saw Jibreel (peace be upon him) in his original form twice: once when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) requested him to show his true form, so he showed his original form and filled the horizon; the second time was when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) ascended with him, as Allah Almighty said: And he was at the highest part of the horizon, then he drew near and came down, and was at a distance of two bow-lengths or even nearer, and He revealed to His servant what He revealed. So when Jibreel (peace be upon him) sensed his Lord, he came in his original form and prostrated. The command of Allah Almighty is: He saw him once again, by the lote-tree of the utmost boundary, near which is the Garden of Refuge, when there covered the lote-tree that which covered it. The sight did not swerve nor did it transgress. Indeed, he saw some of the greatest signs of his Lord. He said: This is the creation of Jibreel (peace be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Jews came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Every prophet has an angel who brings goodness to him; tell us, which angel comes to you? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: It is Jibreel (Gabriel), peace be upon him. They said: Jibreel? He is the angel who descends with fighting, combat, and punishment—he is our enemy. If you had mentioned Mikaeel (Michael), then it would have been acceptable, for he descends with mercy, crops, and rain. So Allah Almighty revealed this verse: {قُلْ مَنْ کَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّجِبْرِیْلَ فَاِنَّہ نَزَّلَہ عَلٰی قَلْبِکَ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰہِ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَیْنَیَدَیْہِ وَھُدًی وَّبُشْرٰی لِلْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ } … Say: Whoever is an enemy to Jibreel, then indeed he has brought down (the Qur’an) upon your heart by Allah’s command, confirming what came before it and as guidance and glad tidings for the believers. (Surah Al-Baqarah: 97)

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) mentioned the angel who will blow the trumpet and said: On his right is Jibril (Gabriel), peace be upon him, and on his left is Mikail (Michael), peace be upon him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Jibreel (peace be upon him): What is the reason that I have never seen Mika'il laughing? He (Jibreel) said: Mika'il has not laughed since the time the fire of Hell was created.
