Question

Is the story of Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) coming to earth 4 times true?

The first was for Ebrahim (alaihis salaam) when he was thrown into the fire.

The second was for Ismail (alaihis salaam) when the knife was placed on his neck.

The third was for Yusuf (alaihis salaam) when he was thrown into the well.

The fourth for Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) when his tooth was struck at the battle of Uhud. Is this story authentic and correct?

Answer

We have not come across any such report, for there is abundant evidence to the contrary.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
