Is it true that the Naserin flower saw God beside Mount Tur when our master Moses saw Him?
We have not found any basis for the saying that Musa (Moses), peace be upon him, saw Allah; it is not authentic, because Musa (peace be upon him) did not see Allah in this world. When he requested to see Him, Allah Almighty answered him: "You will not see Me." Allah Almighty mentioned this in the Holy Quran: "And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, 'My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You.' He said, 'You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it remains in its place, then you will see Me.' But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it a flat dust, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, 'Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers.'" (Al-A'raf: 143). The exegetes explained that the meaning of "and I am the first of the believers" is "the first to believe that no one can see Him in this world."
