<span class="content1"><strong>Allah SWT sent Jibrail (Peace be upon him) to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) only to respect and revere Him </strong> <p>Jibrail (Peace be upon him) came to the presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), just before He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) passed away into the presence of Allah SWT and requested as Imam Tabarani writes in Mawahib e Ladunniya,</p> <p>Translation: It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Ali bin Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with him) who in turn heard his father saying: 3 days before the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) passed away into the presence of Allah, Jibrail (Peace be upon him) came to Him and requested thus: O Muhammad, Allah Ta'ala has sent me especially to respect and revere You. Then Jibrail (Peace be upon him) asked the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) about His illness. The angel of death requested permission to enter the presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), Jibrail (Peace be upon him) said: This is the angel of death, he requests permission to come into Your presence. Before You, he had never requested permission from any Prophet and will never request permission from any human being after You. The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Permit him. The angel of death entered the presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). He stood with utmost respect and said: Verily Allah SWT has sent me to You and has commanded to obey whatever You say. If You order that I should draw Your pure Soul, I'll do it. If You order me not to do so, I won&rsquo;t.</p> <p>Jibrail (Peace be upon him) said, O Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), verily Allah SWT wants to meet You. Then the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: O angel of death, do what you have been commanded to do. Jibrail (Peace be upon him) said: O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) this is my last coming to the earth with the Wahi. There is nothing except that in this world. You are my only purpose in this world.</p> <p>(Mojam Kabeer Tabarani, Hadith No: 2821; Al Matalib Ul A&rsquo;aliya of Imam Ibn Hajr Asqalani, Hadith No: 4449; Kanz Ul &lsquo;Ummal, Kitab Ush Shamail; Majma Uz Zawaaid, Vol. 9, Pg No: 34; Khasais Kubra, Vol. 2, Pg No: 273, Mawahib Ladunniya, Vol. 4, Pg No: 571, Subul Ul Huda War Rashad, Vol. 12, Pg No: 263)</p> </span>
