[5/324] al-Kafi: Muhammad b. Yahya from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from Ibn Abi Najran from Abdallah b. Sinan from Abi Abdillah عÙÙ٠اÙسÙا٠about His words: âsights (Absar) do not reach Himâ (6:103) - he (the Imam) said: (It means) comprehension by the imagination (is impossible for Him). Do you not see His words: âThere have come to you insights (Basair) from your Lordâ (6:104) - He does not mean sighting of the eyes.
âWhosoever will see (Absara) then it will be for his own selfâ (6:104) - He does not mean by (the word) âseeâ through his eye. âand whoever is blind is against itâ (6:104) - He does not mean the blindness of the eyes. He means comprehension by the imagination - as is said: So-and-so is insightful (Basir) in poetry, So-and-so is insightful in jurisprudence, So-and-so is insightful in coins (telling forgeries from the real thing), So-and-so is insightful in clothes.
Allah is greater than to be seen by the eye. عتبر - Shaykh Asif al-Mohseni (MuÊ¿jam al-AḥÄdÄ«th al-MuÊ¿tabara)
