حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أُتِيَ بِأُنَاسٍ مِنْ الزُّطِّ يَعْبُدُونَ وَثَنًا فَأَحْرَقَهُمْ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2967
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Prophet (PBUH) asked Jibreel to appear to him in his real form, and he said: Ask your Lord. So he asked his Lord. Then some shade began to appear from the east, and it began to rise and spread. When the Prophet (PBUH) saw it, he fainted. Then (Jibreel) came and revived him, and wiped the saliva from his mouth.
