Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ يُنَاجِيهِ فَكَانَ كَالْمُعْرِضِ عَنْ أَبِي فَخَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَقَالَ لِي أَبِي أَيْ بُنَيَّ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَمِّكَ كَالْمُعْرِضِ عَنِّي فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَتِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ يُنَاجِيهِ قَالَ فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَى النّ
َبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَبِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ رَجُلٌ يُنَاجِيكَ فَهَلْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهَلْ رَأَيْتَهُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّ ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ وَهُوَ الَّذِي شَغَلَنِي عَنْكَ

English Translation
Hasan narrated to us, Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from 'Ammar ibn Abi 'Ammar, that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) said: I was with my father at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ's ﷺ side, and there was a man conversing privately with him. the Prophet ﷺ seemed to be turning away from my father, so when we left, my father said: 'Did you see your cousin turning away from me?' I said: 'O father, there was a man whispering to him.' So my father went back and asked, and the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Did you see him?' He said: 'Yes.' He ﷺ said: 'That was Jibril (عليه السلام), and he was the one preventing me from speaking to you.'
