حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ وَعَفَّانُ الْمَعْنَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ يُنَاجِيهِ قَالَ عَفَّانُ وَهُوَ كَالْمُعْرِضِ عَنْ الْعَبَّاسِ فَخَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَقَالَ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَمِّكَ كَالْمُعْرِضِ عَنِّي فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ يُنَاجِيهِ قَالَ عَفَّانُ فَقَالَ أَوَ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ أَحَدٌ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ أَحَدٌ فَإِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ عِنْدَكَ رَجُلًا تُنَاجِيهِ قَالَ هَلْ رَأَيْتَهُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ وَهُوَ الَّذِي شَغَلَنِي عَنْكَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2848
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (PBUH) said: I was with my father in the presence of the Prophet (PBUH) , and there was a man speaking to him. - 'Affan said: It was as if he was not paying attention to al-'Abbas - So we left him and he [al-'Abbas] said: Did you see how your cousin was not paying attention to me? I said: There was a man with him, speaking to him. - 'Affan said: He said: Was there someone with him? I said: Yes. - So he went back to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, was there someone with you? For 'Abdullah told me that there was a man with you and you were speaking to him. He said: "Did you see him, O 'Abdullah?" He said: Yes. He said: "That was Jibreel; he is the one who distracted me from you."
