Musnad Ahmad 2965

Translation

✧ The Prophet ﷺ asked Gabriel to show himself to him, so he said, "Call upon your Lord." He then called upon his Lord, and He responded by revealing Himself in a black appearance from the direction of the east. The Prophet ﷺ described that he kept rising higher and spreading. When the Prophet ﷺ saw him, he was struck with awe, so Gabriel came to him, revived him, and wiped the saliva from his cheeks.
