ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى صِحَّةِ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ

I said to Abu Dharr: Had I seen the Messenger of Allah, I would have asked him. He (Abu Dharr) said: What is that thing that you wanted to inquire of him? He said: I wanted to ask him whether he had seen his Lord. Abu Dharr said: I, in fact, inquired of him, and he replied: I saw Light.  

قُلْتُ لأَبِي ذَرٍّ لَوْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ عَنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ كُنْتَ تَسْأَلُهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ رَبَّكَ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ قَدْ سَأَلْتُ فَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ نُورًا  

"I said to Abu Dharr: 'If I saw the Prophet ﷺ then I would asked him." He said: 'What is it that you would have asked him about?' I said: 'I would have asked him if Muhammad saw his Lord?' He said: 'I did ask him that, and he ﷺ said: I saw light.'"  

قُلْتُ لأَبِي ذَرٍّ لَوْ أَدْرَكْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ عَمَّا كُنْتَ تَسْأَلُهُ قُلْتُ كُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ هَلْ رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ رَبَّهُ فَقَالَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ نُورٌ أَنَّى أَرَاهُ  

[Machine] I said to Abu Dharr, "If I had the opportunity to see the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , I would ask him..." He interrupted and asked, "About what?" I replied, "I would ask him if Muhammad has seen his Lord." Abu Dharr then said, "I did ask him, and he replied, 'It was a light, how can I see Him?'"  

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ لَوْ كُنْتُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَسَأَلْتُهُ قَالَ عَنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ؟ قُلْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ هَلْ رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ رَبَّهُ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ نُورًا أَنَّى أَرَاهُ  

[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  

[Machine] I said to Abu Dharr, "If I had met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I would have asked him." He said, "About what?" I said, "Have you seen your Lord?" He said, "I have asked him and he responded, 'I saw a light. How could I see Him when He is on the path of affirmation?'"  

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ لَوْ أَدْرَكْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سَأَلْتُهُ قَالَ عَنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ؟ قُلْتُ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ رَبَّكَ؟ فَقَالَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ نُورٌ أَنَّى أَرَاهُ يَعْنِي عَلَى طَرِيقِ الْإِيجَابِ
