Hadith 2827

ENGLISH

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:

I was with my father in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ), and there was a man speaking to him. – ‘Affan said: It was as if he was not paying attention to al-‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) – So we left him and he [al-‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه)] said: Did you see how your cousin was not paying attention to me? I said: There was a man with him, speaking to him. – ‘Affan said: He said: Was there someone with him? I said: Yes. – So he went back to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, was there someone with you? For ‘Abdullah told me that there was a man with you and you were speaking to him. He said: “Did you see him, O ‘Abdullah?” He said: Yes. He said: “That was Jibreel; he is the one who distracted me from you.”
