8-1. From a distance, where flames of fire were seen leaping, he arrived there, that is, at Mount Tur, and saw that flames of fire were rising from a lush green tree. In reality, this was not fire; it was the light (nur) of Allah, whose manifestation appeared like fire. In مَنْ فَی النَّار, the word مَنْ refers to Allah, the Exalted, and "nar" refers to His light, and وَمَنْ حَوْلَھَا (those around it) refers to Musa and the angels. In hadith, the veil (hijab) of Allah's essence is described as light (nur), and in another narration, as fire (nar), and it is stated: "If He were to unveil His essence, His majesty would burn all of creation." (Sahih Muslim)
