180. Waki' bin Hudus narrated that his paternal uncle Abu Razin said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, will we see Allāh on the Day of Resurrection? And what is the sign of that in His creation?' He said: 'O Abu Razin, do each of you not see the moon individually?' I said: 'Of course.' He said: 'Allāh is Greater, and that is His sign in His creation.'" (Hasan)
180 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ وَكِيعِ بْنِ حُدُسٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي رَزِينٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَنَرَى اللَّهَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ وَمَا آيَةُ ذَلِكَ فِي خَلْقِهِ؟ قَالَ: «يَا أَبَا رَزِينٍ، أَلَيْسَ كُلُّكُمْ يَرَى الْقَمَرَ مُخْلِيًا بِهِ» قَالَ، قُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ: «فَاللَّهُ أَعْظَمُ، وَذَلِكَ آيَةٌ فِي خَلْقِهِ»

The phrase 'each one seeing (the moon) individually' is used to convey the idea that, notwithstanding the fact that those seeing Him shall be in multitudes, no one shall have any difficulty in seeing Him.
