When the prophet emigrated to Medina; one of the Jewish Rabbis, namd IBN-SURIA, accompanied by a group of his followers, paid a visit to the prophet Mohammad Mustafa and raised many questions such as: ``How did the prophet sleep?'' to which the prophet answered: ``My eyes sleep, while my heart is awake!''

      They finally asked another question; adding that if they got the right answer for it, they would be Muslims.

      What is your question? asked them the prophet.

      We want to know who brings the revelations down to your heart? said IBN_SURIA. ``It is the Arch angel GABRIEL who does that.'' the prophet answered.

      A long pause! Some pretence to pondering, and then the RABBI said: ``GABRIEL is our enemy and his vision inspires fear and terror of war! But Michael is a friend of us! If he was the medium of your inspirations, we could easily submit, and adhere to your revelations and religion''

      (This excuse may refer to what DANIEL has narrated of his vision saying:

``GABRIEL came and stood besides me, and I was so terrified that I fell to the ground! DAN - 8: 17''

``And at that time the great angel, MICHAEL, who guards your people, will appear. DAN - 12: 1''    (TRANSLATOR'S NOTE)
