وسُئل مَالك بن أَنسٍ عَن قَوْله تَعَالَى (إِلى ربِّها ناظرة) فَقِيلَ: قَوْمٌ يَقُولُونَ: إِلَى ثَوَابِهِ. فَقَالَ مَالِكٌ: كَذَبُوا فَأَيْنَ هُمْ عَنْ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: (كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لمحجوبونَ) ؟ قَالَ مَالِكٌ النَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِأَعْيُنِهِمْ وَقَالَ: لَوْ لَمْ يَرَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ رَبَّهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَمْ يُعَيِّرِ اللَّهُ الْكَفَّارَ بِالْحِجَابِ فَقَالَ (كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لمحجوبون) رَوَاهُ فِي «شرح السّنة»
Malik b. Anas was asked about the words of God most high, "Looking towards their Lord[1]," and told that some people said it referred to His reward. To this Malik replied, "They lie. How do they explain His words, `Nay, on that day they shall be veiled from their Lord'[2]?" Malik said men would look at their Lord with their eyes on the day of resurrection, adding, "If the believers were not to look at their Lord on the day of resurrection God would not have reproached the infidels with being veiled saying, `Nay, on that day they shall be veiled from their Lord'." Quran; 75:23 Quran; 83:15. This verse refers to unbelievers. It is transmitted in Sharh as-sunna.
