The answer

The : "O Gabriel, when Allah Almighty created me, I remained for ten thousand years without a name. Then He called out to me: 'O Gabriel.' So I knew my name was Gabriel. Then I said: 'At Your service, O Allah, at Your service'" is a baseless and deniable hadith, with an objectionable text. It is not permissible to attribute it to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, nor to disseminate it except to warn against it and clarify its falsity. Whoever attributes it while knowing its falsity has lied against the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and lying against him is one of the grave sins.
