There my Lord showed me a part of His Excellency illumination. As-Saduq's At-Tawhid page 113: Ibrahim Bin Mohammed Al-Khezzaz and Mohammed Bin Al-Hussein: Before Abul-Hassan Ar-Rida (peace be upon him) we mentioned the narrative that the Prophet had seen his Lord in a look of a thirty year old young man whose legs were in a green place. "Husham Bin Salim and the Taqi and Al-Meithami claim that the upper part of the Lord is hollow while the lower is compact " I added.
