He -azwj was Lord -azwj when there none being nourished, and a God -azwj when there were no worshippers, and a Knower when there was nothing to be known, and a Hearer when there was none to be heard’.

[14] Also in another Hadith: عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْمَوْصِلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ جَاءَ حِبْرٌ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ رَبَّكَ حِينَ عَبَدْتَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ مَا كُنْتُ أَعْبُدُ رَبّاً لَمْ أَرَهُ قَالَ وَ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَهُ قَالَ وَيْلَكَ لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الْعُيُونُ فِي مُشَاهَدَةِ الْأَبْصَارِ وَ لَكِنْ رَأَتْهُ الْقُلُوبُ بِحَقَائِقِ الْإِيمَانِ A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abu Al Hassan Al Mowsaly, from; Abu Abdullah -asws says: ‘A Rabbi came over to Amir Al- Momin een -asws and he said, ‘O Amir Al- Momin een -asws !

Do you -asws see your -asws Lord -azwj when you -asws worship Him -azwj ?’ So he -asws said: ‘Woe be unto you! I -asws have never worshipped a Lord -azwj I -asws do not see’. He said, ‘And how do you -asws see Him -azwj ?’ He -asws said: ‘Woe be unto you! The eyes cannot envisage Him -azwj in the viewing of the sights. But, the hearts see Him -azwj by the realities of the Eman ’.

[15] Appendix Point 2: Lana Ma Allah Halat Appendix Point 3: قال: فقلت له: يا ابن رسول الله فما معنى الخبر الذي رووه أن ثواب لا إله إلا الله النظر إلي وجه الله ؟ He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him -asws , ‘O son -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww !

So, what is the meaning of the Hadeeth which is reported that the Reward of (saying) ‘There is no god except Allah -azwj ’ would be the looking at the Face of Allah -azwj ?’ فقال عليه السلام: يا أبا الصلت من وصف الله بوجه كالوجوه فقد كفر، ولكن وجه الله أنبياؤه ورسله وحججه صلوات الله عليهم هم الذين بهم يتوجه إلي الله وإلى دينه ومعرفته He -asws said: ‘O Abu Salt! One who described Allah -azwj with a face like the faces so he has committed Kufr .

But, the Face of Allah -azwj is His -azwj Prophets, and His -azwj Rasools -as , and His -azwj Divine Authorities -asws . They -as are those, by them -as one is diverted towards Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic, and to His -azwj Religion and His -azwj recognition.
