Jibreel is a servant of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)

This is an undeniable fact concerning our beliefs and faith that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is the raison d'être for the creation of this universe and everything in it.  The whole creation including the angels is His Ummah as given in Sahih Muslim:   And I have been sent towards the whole creation and the series of Prophethood.  (Sahih Muslim Vol. 1 Pg. No. Hadith no. 523; Musnad Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal, Hadith No. 8969)   Hadhrat Mulla Ali Qari (May Allah Ta'ala shower His mercy on him) writes in the commentary of this Hadith in Sharh Mishkaat Mirqat:   Translation: I have been sent towards the whole universe, genies and humans, angels, animals and all stationary creation with Prophethood.  (Mirqaatul Mafateeh, Vol. 5, Pg. No. 163)   Allah Ta’ala stated the grandeur and lofty status of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and commanded the Ummah to respect and revere the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) given in Surah Fatah: -   So that, (O people,) you may believe in Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) and may help his (Din [Religion]), and revere and venerate him heart and soul, and (with that) glorify Allah morning and evening.    Surah Fatah: (48:09)   Human beings, genies of a pure nature, angels and all creation respect and revere the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).  It cannot be imagined that angels and especially the chief of all angels Jibreel (May peace be upon him) would disrespect the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) in any way.     Allah Ta'ala says in Surah Tahreem:   O Believers! Safeguard yourselves and your families against a Fire whose fuel is men and stones. Strong and stern angels have been appointed over it who do not disobey Allah whatever command He gives them to execute. And they accomplish only that assignment which they are commanded to do.    Surah Tahreem (66:06)   Allah Ta’ala made Jibreel a servant of the Holy Prophet (allallahu alaihi wa sallam).  Jibreel (May peace be upon him) been created only to serve the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) Imam Yousuf bin Ismail Nabhani writes on the authority of Shaykh Abdul Aziz Dabbagh (May Allah Ta'ala shower His mercy on him):   Translation: Whatever lofty spiritual stations were granted to Hadhrat Jibreel (May peace be upon him), they were granted only because of his association with the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and because of his service to Him.  If Jibreel (May peace be upon him) had spent his life without serving the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and had made efforts to gain those spiritual stations and had spent all his energies to gain them, even then he could not have attained even one station on his own.  Whatever blessings he gained from the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is not known to anybody except Jibreel (May peace be upon him) and those on whom Allah Ta'ala has opened the doors of Ma'arifah (gnosis).   Hadhrat Abdul Aziz Dabbagh (May Allah Ta'ala shower His mercy on him) continues:   Jibreel (May peace be upon him) has been created only to serve the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and this is why he defends the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) with his whole being.
