Abdullah bin Masud reported,

Muhammad saw Jibreel in his true form only twice. On one occasion, he asked Jibreel to show him himself in his true form, so he showed him his form, and it filled the entire horizon. On the other occasion, Jibreel ascended with him when he was taken up.As for His statement, "And he was in the highest part of the horizon. Then he approached and came closer, until he was at a distance of two bow-lengths or nearer. So he revealed to His servant what he revealed" [Najm 53:7–10], when Jibreel sensed his Lord, he returned to his true form and prostrated.And His statement, "And he certainly saw him in another descent, at the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary, near it is the Garden of Refuge, when there covered the Lote Tree that which covered it. The sight did not swerve, nor did it transgress its limit. He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord" [Najm 53:13–18], this refers to the creation of Jibreel .

حدثنا أبو النضر حدثنا محمد بن طلحة عن الوليد بن قيس عن إسحاق بن أبي الكهتلة قال محمد أظنه

عن ابن مسعود أنه قال

إن محمدا لم ير جبريل في صورته إلا مرتين أما مرة فإنه سأله أن يريه نفسه في صورته فأراه صورته فسد الأفق وأما الأخرى فإنه صعد معه حين صعد به وقوله {وهو بالأفق الأعلى ثم دنا فتدلى فكان قاب قوسين أو أدنى فأوحى إلى عبده ما أوحى} قال فلما أحس جبريل ربه عاد في صورته وسجد فقوله {ولقد رآه نزلة أخرى عند سدرة المنتهى عندها جنة المأوى إذ يغشى السدرة ما يغشى ما زاغ البصر وما طغى لقد رأى من آيات ربه الكبرى} قال خلق جبريل عليه السلام
