English Translation
Ibn Abbas said: "I was with my father at the Prophet's (peace be upon him) side, and a man was whispering to the Prophet, so he seemed to be turning away from my father. We left, and my father said: 'Did you see how your cousin was turning away from me?' I said: 'O father, there was a man whispering to him.' He said: 'Was there someone with him?' I said: 'Yes.' So we went back, and my father said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I said to Abdullah such-and-such, and he told me such-and-such. Was there someone with you?' He said: 'Did you see him, O Abdullah?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'That was Jibril (peace be upon him). He is the one who kept me from you.'"
