Is it authentic that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to throw himself from the tops of the mountains, and Jibril (peace be upon him) turned him back?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it authentic that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to throw himself from the tops of the mountains, and Jibril (peace be upon him) turned him back?

Answer:
Yes, he was in distress, and the disbelievers were causing him distress. So he went out wandering aimlessly; he went out wandering aimlessly until Jibril (peace be upon him) appeared to him between the sky and the earth. Allah sent him, and he called out to him. He raised his head, and there was Jibril in the form in which Allah created him. He said: "O Muhammad, this is the Angel of the Mountains. If you wish, he will close the two mountains surrounding Makkah upon them." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather I will be patient with them, perhaps Allah will bring forth from their loins those who worship Allah and associate nothing with Him." Yes.
