It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) asked Jibreel (peace be upon him) if he wished to see him in his original form. He replied: Pray to your Lord. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) prayed to his Lord. Then, from the east, a black figure arose, and it began to rise and expand. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) saw it, he fainted. Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to him, made him stand, and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
