What About Jibreel عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ?

When he was brought into existence, what did he say? right!

saeed ibn musayyib رضي الله عنه Narrates, as the angels are brought into existence, they say لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِالله (la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah) there is no power or might except that of God, we have none. So as Jibreel was brought into existence, this first soul,
He said لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِالله, The prophet (ﷺ), He says, i have been given permission to tell you about just one of those angels, one of the angels who bears the throne of

So how do we even determine who’s the bigger angel and who’s a smaller angel, and what does this have to do with Jibreel عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ? Al Imam Assuyuuti رَحِمَهُ ٱللّٰهُ‎ says,
the greater the task the angel has been given, the greater the size of the angel.

Not only that, The prophet (ﷺ) said, he filled up the entire horizon and he was sitting on a throne that Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala provided for him. And The prophet (ﷺ) said not only are those 600 wings spread out,
He said
ينتشر من يشه ريشه لتهإ ويل من الدر والياقوت
There are constant rubies and pearls falling from his wings.
in a narration Ahmed,

The Prophet (ﷺ) said the color of his wings are خصراء are green and the souls of his feet are green. There is not a single prophet of allah, that you study except that there is a mention of jibril. Seriously just go through قصص الأنبياء , the stories of the prophets, you’ll find the mention of jibreel Aleh Salam in some way, shape or form he’s got to be there because he has been sent to 124 000 prophets. In the hadith of Musnad Imam Ahmed, there were 124,000 أنبياء, amongst them 315 were messengers, were رسل. He has been sent to each and every single one of them, to teach them, to raise them, to support them, to protect them, he was there.
