so Gabriel said: "O Muḥammad! If you could have seen me while I was taking from the mud of the sea and stuffing it into his mouth out of fear that mercy might reach him." This was narrated by al-Tirmidhī (3106), al-Ḥākim (4/249), Aḥmad (1/245, 309), Ibn Jarīr (17861), and al-Khaṭīb in "al-Tārīkh" (8/102). Al-Tirmidhī said: "A good ḥadīth."
