Hadith 138
۞
17. What Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid (RA) said: Muhammad ibn al-Hasan alSaffar said on the authority of Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Abu al-Khattab, on the authority of Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl that
I asked Abu al-Hasan al-Kadhim (AS): “Did the Messenger of Allah (SA) see his Lord, the Mighty and High?” Hence, he (AS) replied: “Yes, he saw Him by means of his heart. Have you not heard Allah, the Might and High that the heart was not untrue in (making him see) what he saw.1 That is to say, he did not see Him with his eyes, but he saw Him with the heart.”
17 - ما حدثنا به محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد رحمه الله قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن محمد بن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب، عن محمد بن الفضيل قال
سألت أبا الحسن عليه السلام هل رأى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله ربه عز وجل؟ فقال: نعم بقلبه رآه، أما سمعت الله عز وجل يقول: (ما كذب الفؤاد ما رأى) أي لم يره بالبصرة، لكن رآه بالفؤاد.
