Jibreel in the presence of the Holy Prophet

Whenever Jibreel (May peace be upon him) came to the presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), he would become the very personification of respect and would request permission.  Out of respect, he would not come closer to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) suddenly, but he would be constantly requesting the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) for permission.  When the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) would grant him permission, then he would come close to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and sit parallel-legged.

Thus, in many different types of books of Hadith like the Sihah, Sunan, etc., there are many Hadith of this kind.  As an example, the following Hadith is being reproduced here:

Translation of Hadith: It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Abdullah bin Umar (May Allah be well pleased with him), he says: We were present before the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).  Suddenly a person with a beautiful face, fragrant odor and in a clean dress came to His presence and said:

Assalamulaikum, O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).  May I come closer to you?  Then He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Come closer.  He came a little closer.  In the same way, he kept requesting for permission many times and kept coming closer to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).

In Musnad Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal, the Hadith is with a slight change:

Jibreel said: Assalamulaikum, O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Walaikum Assalam.  Then he said: O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) may I come closer?  He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Come closer.

In Kanz Ul Ummal, the words are like this:

Jibreel (May peace be upon him) said: May I come closer to You, O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)!  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Come closer to me.

In Sunan Nasai, the following words have been recorded:
