مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ وَبَهْزٌ قَالَا ثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ بَهْزٌ ثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَوْ أَدْرَكْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَسَأَلْتُهُ قَالَ عَنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ قُلْتُ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ رَبَّكَ قَالَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ نُورٌ أَنَّى أَرَاهُ يَعْنِي عَلَى طَرِيقِ الْإِيجَابِ
(Second chain) Abdullah bin Shaqiq says: I said to Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him): If I had met the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I would have asked him one question. He said: About what? 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, and in reply he said: He is Light, how could I see Him? That is, he gave a positive answer.
