`Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Imran al-Daqqaq (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Muhammad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al-Kufi said on the authority of `Ali ibn Abu al-Qasim, on the authority of Ya`qub ibn Ishaq that I wrote to Abu Muhammad al-`Askari (AS) asking him how a servant could serve a Lord he cannot see? Hence, he (AS) replied in writing: âO Abu Yusuf!
My Master, my Lord, and the Benefactor upon me any my forefathers, is far above being seen.â He said: âI also asked whether the Messenger of Allah (sw) saw him Lord?â He wrote back: âVerily, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, manifested to the Messenger what He desired from the Light of His Magnitude.â
