Good hadith
Ibn Abi ‘Aasim - At-Tabaraani
عن جابر رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «ليلةَ أُسْرِيَ بي مررتُ على جبريل في المَلَأ الأعلى كالحِلْسِ البالي مِن خَشيةِ الله عز وجل ».
Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the night I was taken up to heaven, I passed by Jibrīl in the Highest Assembly (of angels) and he was like a worn-out garment for fear of Allah, Exalted and Glorified.”
Explanation
This Hadīth mentions that when the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was taken up by night to heaven, he passed by Jibrīl when he was with the favored angels. He found Jibrīl like a worn-out garment due to his fear of Allah, Glorified and Exalted. This proves Jibrīl's excellent knowledge of Allah, the Almighty, for the more one knows Allah, the more he fears Him.
