Arabic hadith text
وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْعَوَّامِ - حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ زِرَّ بْنَ حُبَيْشٍ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ، عَزَّ وَجَلَّ { فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى} قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ لَهُ سِتُّمِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ .
Translation
Abu al-Rabi' al-Zahrani narrated this to me: 'Abbad—namely, Ibn al-'Awwam—narrated to us; al-Shaybani narrated to us. He said: I asked Zirr ibn Hubaysh about the words of Allah, Mighty and Majestic: Then he was at a distance of two bow lengths, or nearer. He said: Ibn Mas'ud informed me that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Gabriel, who had six hundred wings.
