The Vision of God Most High - Section 3
وَعَن ابْن عَبَّاس: (مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى.... وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نزلة أُخْرَى) قَالَ: رَآهُ بِفُؤَادِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ وَفِي رِوَايَة لِلتِّرْمِذِي قَالَ: رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ رَبَّهُ. قَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ قُلْتُ: أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ: (لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يدْرك الْأَبْصَار) ؟ قَالَ: وَيحك إِذَا تَجَلَّى بِنُورِهِ الَّذِي هُوَ نُورُهُ وَقَدْ رأى ربه مرَّتَيْنِ
Translation
Ibn `Abbas quoted, "The heart did not belie what it saw[1]," And he has seen Him at another descent[2]," saying that he saw Him twice in his heart. Quran; 53:11 Quran; 53:13 Muslim transmitted it. In Tirmidhi's version he said Muhammad saw his Lord. `Ikrima said he asked whether God does not say, "The eyes do not perceive Him but He perceives the eyes[*]," and he replied, "Out upon you! That is when He shines forth with His own essential light; but he has seen his Lord twice." *Quran; 6:103 Tirmidhi.
