What is "the Shin" that will be uncovered on the Day of Resurrection, as stated in His — Exalted be He — saying: "The Day a Shin will be uncovered," and is it the Shin of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic? And how does this reconcile with His — Exalted be He — saying: "Then indeed, from their Lord, on that Day, will they be veiled"?

The leg in the verse refers to the leg of Allah, the Exalted, as indicated by the interpretation of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and also by the interpretation of Ibn Mas'ud. This does not contradict what is stated in Surat Al-Mutaffifin, for the vision mentioned in the Bukhari hadith is specific to the believers. It has been established that the believers will see their Lord on the Day of Resurrection, while the disbelievers will not see Him.
