The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم related a tradition in which he mentioned the words Jibril and Mikal and he pronounced them Jibra'ila wa Mika'ila. Abu Dawud said: Khalaf said: I did not put the pen aside from writing letters (huruf) for forty years: nothing tired me (or made me incapable of writing), even Jibril and Mika'il did not tire me.
