"عَنْ عْبدِ الرَّحمنِ بْنِ غنمٍ أنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا خَرَجَ إِلى بنى قُرَيْظَةَ قَالَ لَهُ أبو بَكْر وعُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: إنَّ النَّاسَ يَزيْدهُمْ حِرْصًا عَلَى أنْ يَروا عَلَيْكَ زيًّا حسنًا مِن الدُّنْيَا فانْظُر إِلى الحُلَّة الَّتى أهْداهَا لكَ سَعْدُ بنُ عُبَادَةَ فالبسْهَا ليَرى المشْرِكُونَ اليَومَ عَلَيْكَ زِيًّا حَسَنًا، قَالَ: أفعلُ وَأَيْمُ اللهِ لَوْ أَنكُمَا تَتَّفِقَانِ لِى على أَمْرٍ وَاحِدٍ ما عَصَيْتكُمَا فِي مَشُورَةٍ أَبدًا، وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبَ لِى رَبِّى - ﷻ - مَثَلًا، لَقَدْ ضَرَبَ مَثَلكُمَا فِي الملائكَةِ مِثْل جِبْريلَ ومِيكَائِيلَ، فَأَمَّا ابْنُ الخطَّابِ فمثله من الملائكة مثلُ جِبريلَ إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يُدَمِّرْ قَرْيَةً قَطُّ إِلا بِجبْرِيلَ، وَمَثَلُهُ فِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ مثلُ نُوحٍ إِذْ قَالَ {رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا} وَمَثَلُ ابْنِ أَبي قُحَافَةَ فِي الملائِكة كَمثلِ ميكائيل إِذ يَسْتَغْفر لِمَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَمثَلُه في الأنْبِيَاء كَمثلِ إبراهيمَ إذْ قَالَ: {فَمَنْ تَبِعَنِي فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَإِنَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ}، وَلَوْ أَنَّكُمَا تَتّفِقانِ عَلَى أَمْرٍ وَاحِدٍ ما عَصَيْتُكُما، ولَكِنْ شأنكُمَا في المشُورة حتى كمثلِ جبريلَ، وميكائيلَ، وَنُوحٍ وإبراهيمَ".

"On the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Ghunm: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out toward Banu Qurayzah, Abu Bakr and 'Umar said to him: O Messenger of Allah, people are made more eager by seeing you in a fine appearance from the world. Look at the robe which Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah gave you, so wear it, that the polytheists may see you today in a fine appearance. He said: I will do so. By Allah, if you two agreed on one matter for me, I would never disobey you in any consultation. Allah, my Lord, has struck a parable for me: He has struck your parable among the angels as Jibril and Mika'il. As for Ibn al-Khattab, his likeness among the angels is like Jibril, for Allah never destroyed a town except by Jibril. His likeness among the Prophets is like Nuh, when he said: {My Lord, leave not upon the earth from among the disbelievers any dwelling} [Quran 71:26]. The likeness of Ibn Abi Quhafah among the angels is like Mika'il, who asks forgiveness for those on the earth. His likeness among the Prophets is like Ibrahim, when he said: {Whoever follows me is of me, and whoever disobeys me, indeed You are Forgiving and Merciful} [Quran 14:36]. And if you two agreed on one matter, I would not disobey you, but your position in consultation is like that of Jibril, Mika'il, Nuh and Ibrahim."
