Hadith 2662

ENGLISH

It was narrated from ‘Ammar bin Abi ‘Ammar that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:

I was with my father in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). There was a man who was with him, conversing with him, and it was as if he (the Prophet (ﷺ)) was not paying attention to my father, so we left. My father said to me: O my son, did you not see how your cousin did not pay attention to me? I said: O my father, he had a man with him who was conversing with him. So we went back to the Prophet (ﷺ) and my father said: O Messenger of Allah, I said such and such to 'Abdullah, and he told me that there was a man who was with you, conversing with you. Was there someone with you? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Did you really see him, O 'Abdullah?" l said: Yes. He said: “That was Jibreel; he is the one who distracted me from you.”
