Can the text and referencing of Aisha's Hadith be known: "Whoever claims that Muhammad saw his Lord has made a monstrous lie, for Allah said: (No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. He is the Most Subtle, the All-Aware)"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that whoever claims three things has uttered a grave fabrication against Allah: First, whoever claims that Muhammad (peace be upon him) saw his Lord, citing the Almighty's words: "No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. He is the Most Subtle, the All-Aware" and "It is not for any human being that Allah should speak to him except by [divine] inspiration or from behind a partition or by sending a messenger to reveal by His permission whatever He wills. Indeed, He is Most High, Most Wise." Second, whoever claims that the Messenger (peace be upon him) concealed anything from the Book of Allah, citing the Almighty's words: "O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord; and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message." Third, whoever claims that the Prophet (peace be upon him) informs of what will happen tomorrow, citing the Almighty's words: "Say, 'None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allah.'"
