Q
What is the significance of the description of Gabriel having six hundred wings in Islamic tradition?
A
I asked Zirr about the Statement of Allah:
‘And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer. So did Allah convey the Inspiration to
His slave (Gabriel) and then he (Gabriel) conveyed that to Muhammad.’ (53.10) He said, “Abdullah
(bin Mas`ud) informed us that Muhammad had seen Gabriel with six hundred wings.”
