4855. Narrated Masrūq: I said to 'Āishah رضي الله عنها "O Mother! Did Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ see his Lord?" 'Āishah said, "What you have said makes my hair stand on end! Know that if somebody tells you one of the following three things, he is a liar: Whoever tells you that Muḥammad ﷺ saw his Lord, is a liar." Then 'Āishah recited the Verse: "No vision can grasp Him, but He grasps all vision. He is Al-Latif (the Most Subtle and Courteous), Well-Acquainted with all things." (V.6:103) "It is not given to any human being that Allāh should speak to him unless (it be) by Revelation or from behind a veil..." (V.42:51) 'Aisha further said, "And whoever tells you that the Prophet ﷺ knows what is going to happen tomorrow, is a liar." She then recited: "...No person knows what he will earn tomorrow..." (V.31:34) She added: "And whoever tells you that he (i.e., Prophet ﷺ) concealed (some of Allāh's Orders), is a liar." Then she recited: "O Messenger (Muḥammad ﷺ)! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord..." (V.5:67) 'Aishah added: "But the Prophet ﷺ saw Jibrīl (Gabriel) in his true form twice."

4855 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: يَا أُمَّتَاهْ هَلْ رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَبَّهُ؟ فَقَالَتْ: لَقَدْ قَفَّ شَعَرِي مِمَّا قُلْتَ، أَيْنَ أَنْتَ مِنْ ثَلاَثٍ، مَنْ حَدَّثَكَهُنَّ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ : مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى رَبَّهُ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ: {لاَ تُدْرِكُهُ الأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الأَبْصَارَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الخَبِيرُ} [الأنعام: 103]، {وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا وَحْيًا أَوْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ} [الشورى: 51]. وَمَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي غَدٍ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ: {وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا} [لقمان: 34]. وَمَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّهُ كَتَمَ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ} [المائدة: 67] الآيَةَ وَلَكِنَّهُ «رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ فِي صُورَتِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ»
