[Machine] I said to Abu Dharr, "If I had seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I would have asked him something." He asked, "And what would you have asked him?" I said, "I would have asked him whether he has seen his Lord." Abu Dharr said, "Indeed, I have asked him about that, and he said, 'I have seen Him as a light. How can I see Him?' Abu Dharr said, 'I have heard it from Ibn Hisham, meaning Mu'adh, who narrated it from his father, just as Humam has said, 'I have seen it.'"
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ لَوْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَسَأَلْتُهُ قَالَ وَمَا كُنْتَ تَسْأَلُهُ؟ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ هَلْ رَأَى رَبَّهُ؟ قَالَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ نُورًا أَنَّى أَرَاهُ؟ قَالَ عَفَّانُ وَبَلَغَنِي عَنِ ابْنِ هِشَامٍ يَعْنِي مُعَاذًا أَنَّهُ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ كَمَا قَالَ هَمَّامٌ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ
