On wishing someone came round more often
The Prophet ﷺ said it to Jibrīl, who had been away.
مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَزُورَنَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا تَزُورُنَا فَنَزَلَتْ {وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلاَّ بِأَمْرِ رَبِّكَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا}
He said to Gabriel: what prevents you from visiting us more often than you do? Then this was revealed: and we descend not except by the command of your Lord. To Him belongs what is before us and what is behind us.
