4628. Narrated Jābir رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: When this Verse was revealed: "Say: He has power to send torment on you from above..." (V.6:65), Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "O Allāh! I seek refuge with Your Face(1) (from this punishment)." And when the Verse: "...Or (send torment) from under your feet...", (was revealed), Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "(O Allāh!) I seek refuge with Your Face (from this punishment)". (But when there was revealed):"...Or to cover you with confusion in party strife, and make you to taste the violence of one another..." (V.6:65), Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "This is lighter (or, this is easier)." [٨٢]

4628 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ: {قُلْ هُوَ القَادِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابًا مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ} [الأنعام: 65]، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ»، قَالَ: {أَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ} [الأنعام: 65]، قَالَ: «أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ» {أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ} [الأنعام: 65] قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَذَا أَهْوَنُ - أَوْ هَذَا أَيْسَرُ -»

(1) (H. 4628) All what has been revealed in Allāh's Book (the Qur'ān) as regards the [Sīfat] Qualities of Allāh تعالى the Most High—like His Face, Eyes, Hands, Shins (Legs), His Coming, His Istawa (rising over) His Throne and others; His Qualities, or all that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ qualified Him in the true authentic Prophet's Aḥādīth (narrations) as regards His Qualities like [Nazūl] (نزول) His Descent or His Laughing and others etc. The religious scholars of the Qur'ān and the Sunna believe in these Qualities of Allāh and they confirm that these are really His Qualities, without [Ta'wil] interpreting their meanings into different things etc. or [Tashbih] [تشبيه] giving resemblance or similarity to any of the creatures or [Ta'tīl] [تعطيل] i.e., completely ignoring them i.e., there is no Face, or Eyes or Hands, or Shins etc. for Allāh. These Qualities befit or suit only for Allāh Alone, and He does not resemble to any of (His) creatures. As Allāh's Statements (in the Qur'ān): (1) "There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer (V.42:11). (2) "There is none comparable unto Him" (V.112:4).
