صحیح مسلم · Hadith 433

Al-Shaibini reported to us: I asked Zirr b. Hubaish about the words of Allah (the Mighty and Great): So he was (at a distance) of two bows or nearer (al-Qur'an, Iiii 8). He said: Ibn Mas'ud informed me that, verily, the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) saw Gabriel and he had six hundred wings.
