حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ
عَنِ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي مَرَّ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُنَاجِي جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَزَعَمَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهُ تَجَنَّبَ أَنْ يَدْنُوَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثَمَّ تَخَوُّفًا أَنْ يَسْمَعَ حَدِيثَهُ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُسَلِّمَ إِذْ مَرَرْتَ بِي الْبَارِحَةَ ؟ " قَالَ: رَأَيْتُكَ تُنَاجِي رَجُلًا، فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَكْرَهَ أَنْ أَدْنُوَ مِنْكُمَا، قَالَ: " وَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَنِ الرَّجُلُ ؟ " قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: فَذَلِكَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، وَلَوْ سَلَّمْتَ لَرَدَّ السَّلَامَ.

✧ About the man who passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was conversing privately with Jibril ﷺ. Abu Salama asserted that he avoided drawing near to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ out of fear of overhearing his conversation. When morning came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'What prevented you from greeting me when you passed by me last night?' He said: 'I saw you conversing privately with a man, and I feared you would dislike me drawing near to you two.' He said: 'Do you know who the man was?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'That was Jibril ﷺ, and had you greeted, he would have returned the greeting.'
