Hadith 68

‘Al Tawheed’ – Al Daqaq, from Al Asady, from Al Nakhair, from al Nowfaly, from Al Batainy, from Abu Baseer, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘Inform me about Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, would the Momineen see Him-azwj on the Day of Qiyamah? ’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, and they have (already) seen Him-azwj before the Day of Qiyamah’. I said, ‘When? ’ He-asws said: ‘When He-azwj Said to them: “Am I not your Lord? ” They said, ‘Yes, we testify’. [7: 172]’. Then he-asws was silent for a while, then said: ‘And the Momineen tend to see Him-azwj in the world, before the Hereafter. Don’t you see Him-azwj during this time of yours? ’’. Abu Baseer said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Shall I narrate with this from you-asws? ’ He-asws said: ‘No, for if you were to narrate with it, an ignorant denier would deny the meaning of what you are saying, then he would evaluate that, that is a resemblance, and he would commit Kufr; and the sighting with the heart is not like the sighting with the eyes. Allah-azwj is Exalted from what the resemblers and the atheists are describing’’. [69]
