The enmity of Jewish people from Israel with Gabriel (AS) dates back to the time of the prophets of Israel. The culmination of this enmity dates back to the time of the last messenger (PBUH and his progeny). The present study aims to find out the reason for Jewish enmity with Gabriel (AS) emphasizing on verse 97 of chapter Baqarah. The research findings show that according to the commentaries, the most prominent excuses expressed by the Jews for their enmity with are: Gabriel brought them torment, war and violence, Gabriel did not prevent Bakht al-Nasr from destruction of Jerusalem, Gabriel interpreted Daniel's dream about the destruction of Jerusalem, Gabriel made the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) aware of the Jews' secrets, Gabriel took prophethood from the children of Israel and gave it to the children of Ishmael, and finally that Gabriel gave the good news of the prophethood of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and the Imamate of Imam Ali and the Imams after him. The results of this study show that the most important factors of the Jews' enmity with Gabriel are: the spirit of self-superiority and also the incorrect attitude towards the principle of monotheism which has led to their disobedience to divine commands.
