حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَوْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلْتُهُ قَالَ وَمَا كُنْتَ تَسْأَلُهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ هَلْ رَأَى رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ نُورًا أَنَّى أَرَاهُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Shaqiq says: I said to Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him): If I had seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I would have asked him a question. He said: So what question would you have asked? I said: I would have asked whether you (peace and blessings be upon him) saw your Lord? He said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) this question, to which he replied: I saw Light; how could I see Him?
