Jibrail would ask the Holy Prophet for permission

<span class="content1">&nbsp; <p><strong>Jibrail (Peace be upon him) requests permission from the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) </strong></p> <p>When Jibrail (Peace be upon him) would came to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), he would become a model of respect and would request permission. Out of respect, he would not come closer to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) suddenly, but for coming close, he would constantly request the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). When the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) would grant him permission, then he would come closer to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and sit with both his knees resting on the ground.</p> <p>In Sihah Sittah (the 6 authentic books of Hadith), in the Sunan, in Musnad Imam Azam, Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Nasai, Sunan Baihaqi, Kanz Ul Ummal, At Targheeb wat Tarheeb, Jame Ul Ahadith wal maraseel, and in many other books of Hadith, there are many Hadith of this kind. As an example, the following Hadith are being mentioned here:</p> <p>Translation: It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Abdullah bin Umar (May Allah be well pleased with them): We were in the presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), suddenly a person with a beautiful face, fragrant odor and in a clean dress came to the Holy Prophet and said, Assalamalaikum! O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), May I come closer to you? Then He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said, &quot;Come closer.&quot; He came a little closer. In the same way, he requested permission many times and kept coming closer to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).</p> <p>In Musnad Imam Azam, it is mentioned that he said: Assalamalaikum! O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said, Walaikum as salam. Then he said, O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), May I come closer? He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Come closer.</p> <p>In Kanzul Ummal, the words are like this, Jibrail (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.&quot; (Kanz Ul Ummal, Vol. 1, Pg No: 240)</p> <p>In Sunan Nasai, the following words have been recorded:</p> <p>Translation: Jibrail (Peace be upon him) came to the edge of floor cover and said: O Muhammad (Epitome of praise) (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) Assalamualika. The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) replied to his Salaam. Jibrail (Peace be upon him) requested: O Muhammad! (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)! May I come closer to You? The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Come closer. Jibrail (Peace be upon him) kept requesting permission and the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Come closer. (Sunan Nasai, Vol. 2, Pg No: 265)</p> <p>Musnad Ahmed and Sunan e Baihaqi have these words: O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) May I come?</p> <p>The commentator of Musnad Imam Azam has explained this line in the following beautiful words: Jibrail (Peace be upon him) requested permission in this manner to come closer to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) out of the fear that coming closer suddenly would come under disrespect of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).</p> <p>This shows us with what respect and reverence Jibrail (Peace be upon him) used to enter the Holy Prophet's presence with His permission. In the same way, Allah SWT used to command Jibrail (Peace be upon him) that he should not leave the presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) without asking His permission and will.</p> <strong>Do not return until My Beloved (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) permits you to </strong> <p>Hadhrat Qazi Sanaullah Panipati Naqshbandi (May Allah shower His Mercy on him) narrates a Hadith in his Tafseer e Mazhari on the authority of Ibn e Sa'ad and Abu Shaikh:</p> <p>Translation: When the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was done with the Battle of Badr, Jibrail (Peace be upon him) came to Him on a red horse wearing armor, holding a spear in his hand and requested: O Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), Allah SWT has sent me to You and has commanded me not to return until You are pleased with me. Is the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) pleased with me? The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said, Yes I am pleased with you. Then Jibrail (Peace be upon him) returned.</p> <p>(Baihaqi, Dalail Un Nabuwwa, Hadith No: 992. Khasais Kubra, Vol. 1, Pg No: 203, Subul Ul Huda war Rashad, Vol. 4, Pg No: 41)</p> </span>
