(5). 3068. Masrūq said: "I was reclining in the presence of 'Aīshah when she said: 'O Abū 'Aīshah! There are three things, whoever speaks of one of them, then he has uttered one of the worst lies against Allāh. Whoever claims that Muḥammad saw his Lord. Then he has uttered one of the worst lies against Allāh, Allāh says: No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision, and He is the Most Subtle, Well-Acquainted with all things.[1] It is not for any human being that Allāh should speak to him unless (it be) by revelation or from behind a veil.'[2] I was reclining, so I sat up and said: 'O Mother of the Believers! Take your time with me and do not be hasty with me! Did Allāh Most High not say: And indeed he saw him at a second descent.[3] (And) 'And indeed he saw him in the clear horizon.'[4] She said: 'By Allāh! I was the first who asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about this. He said: "That was only Jibrīl. I did not see him in the appearance he was created in except for these two times. I saw him descending from the heavens, and due to his tremendous size he filled what was between the heavens and the earth." "And whoever claimed that Muḥammad hid anything that Allāh revealed to him, then he has uttered one of the worst lies against Allāh. Allāh says: O Messenger! Proclaim what has been sent down to you from your Lord.”[1] “And whoever claimed that he ﷺ knew what would be tomorrow, then he has uttered one of the worst lies against Allāh. Allāh says: Say: ‘None in the heavens and in the earth knows the unseen but Allāh.’”[2] (Sahīh) [Abū ‘Īsā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. The Kunyah of Masrūq bin Al-Ajda’ is Abū ‘Āishah [and he is Masrūq bin ‘Abdur-Raḥmān, this is what his name is in Ad-Dīwān].

٣٠٦٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنِ ‌الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ: «كُنْتُ مُتَّكِئًا عِنْدَ ‌عَائِشَةَ ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا عَائِشَةَ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِوَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ، فَقَدْ أَعْظَمَ الْفِرْيَةَ عَلَى اللهِ: مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَأَى رَبَّهُ، فَقَدْ أَعْظَمَ الْفِرْيَةَ عَلَى اللهِ، وَاللهُ يَقُولُ: {لا تُدْرِكُهُ الأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الأَبْصَارَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ} {وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُ اللهُ إِلا وَحْيًا أَوْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ} وَكُنْتُ مُتَّكِئًا فَجَلَسْتُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَنْظِرِينِي وَلَا تَعْجَلِينِي، أَلَيْسَ يَقُولُ اللهُ: {وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى} {وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ} قَالَتْ: أَنَا وَاللهِ أَوَّلُ مَنْ سَأَلَ عَنْ هَذَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ جِبْرِيلُ، مَا رَأَيْتُهُ فِي الصُّورَةِ الَّتِي خُلِقَ فِيهَا غَيْرَ هَاتَيْنِ الْمَرَّتَيْنِ، رَأَيْتُهُ مُنْهَبِطًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ سَادًّا عِظَمُ خَلْقِهِ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ. وَمَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا كَتَمَ شَيْئًا مِمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَدْ أَعْظَمَ الْفِرْيَةَ عَلَى اللهِ، يَقُولُ اللهُ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ} وَمَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي غَدٍ، فَقَدْ أَعْظَمَ الْفِرْيَةَ عَلَى اللهِ، وَاللهُ يَقُولُ: {قُلْ لا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ الْغَيْبَ إِلا اللهُ}» : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَمَسْرُوقُ بْنُ الْأَجْدَعِ يُكْنَى أَبَا عَائِشَةَ، وَهُوَ مَسْرُوقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَكَذَا كَانَ اسْمُهُ فِي الدِّيوَانِ.

Commentary

Scholars have differed over the matter of seeing Allāh ﷻ in this life. As for the Hereafter it is agreed that the believers will see Allāh ﷻ.
