I saw Jibrīl at the Lote Tree having six hundred wings, and there were multi-colored pearls and rubies falling from his wings
Authentic hadithعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه أنه قال في هذه الآية: {ولقد رآه نَزْلَةً أُخرى} [النجم: 13]، قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «رأيتُ جبريلَ عند سِدْرةِ المُنْتَهى، عليه ستُّمائة جَناح، يَنْتَثِرُ من رِيشِه التَّهاوِيلُ: الدُّرُّ والياقُوتُ».
Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported, in relation to the verse: {And he certainly saw him in another descent} [Sūrat An-Najm: 13], that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I saw Jibrīl at the Lote Tree having six hundred wings, and there were multi-colored pearls and rubies falling from his wings.”
Explanation
In the context of interpreting the verse: {And he certainly saw him in another descent} [Sūrat An-Najm:13], Ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) explained that he saw Jibrīl (peace be upon him) in the upper part of Paradise at the Lote Tree in his original shape in which Allah, the Almighty, created him. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) saw Jibrīl (peace be upon him) having six hundred wings, with multi-colored pearls and rubies falling from the feathers of his wings.
