The Prophet’s vision of Jibril in his true form

Question:
Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) see Jibril with his physical eyes when he embraced him and said to him, “Read,” or did he only hear his voice without seeing his body?

Answer:
It is beautiful that he came to him in the form of a human being. He did not come to him in the form of an angel except twice. He did not see him in the form of an angel except twice. Once, in the plain of Makkah, when the harm of the disbelievers intensified against him, he saw him on the clear horizon, in his true form, (peace and blessings be upon him). The second time was on the night of the Ascension, when he saw him at the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary. Apart from that, he would come to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the form of a man. Yes.
