Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from abu Hammam who has said the following: “This is about the meaning of the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘marked angels.’ (3:125) Abu al-Hassan (a.s.), has said that it is a reference to turbans. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, wore a turban and hanged down one end on his front side and the other end down his backside.

Jibril wore a turban and hanged down one end on his front side and the other end down his back.’” صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (2/343))
