"Wahi comes from Allah s.w.t, who sends it down to the world of angels who then act as agenst or transmitters of wahi. These angels are not visible to any human beings - that is, other than prophets. Jibril a.s. is the angel who is designated to bring wahi to all prophets. The un-lettered Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w had coached the spiritual psyche of hs companions with such great dexterity that they became equipped to carry the burden of tabligh (conveying the message to others). The Companions of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.a.w. saw Jibril with their own eyes and heard him with their own ears. The Prophet s.a.a.w asked Umar, who went out looking for this person when he left he gathering, "Do you know who that was Umar?" When Umar responded in the negative, the Prophet stated, "This was Jibril. He came to teach you your Din (religion)".
The Suhba of the Prophet s.a.a.w was so intense that it brought down Allah's providence which came in the form of Jibril a.s. coming to teach them what he taught the Prophet s.a.a.w. The companionship with the Prophet s.a.a.w had now converted ordinary human beings into special human beings who were blessed with the witnessing of the arch angel Jibril a.s." Read more

I have read several explanations of this hadith. Shaykh Amn however, brought out some insight I have never heard anywhere else. His articles are full of subtle yet deeply insightful wisdom. Masha Allah!
