قَالَ كَيْفَ يَجِيءُ رَجُلٌ إِلَى الْخَلْقِ جَمِيعاً فَيُخْبِرُهُمْ أَنَّهُ جَاءَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّهُ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَبْصَارُ وَ لَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِ عِلْماً وَ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ بِعَيْنِي وَ أَحَطْتُ بِهِ عِلْماً وَ هُوَ عَلَى صُورَةِ الْبَشَرِ أَ مَا تَسْتَحُونَ مَا قَدَرَتِ الزَّنَادِقَةُ أَنْ تَرْمِيَهُ بِهَذَا أَنْ يَكُونَ يَأْتِي مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ بِشَيْءٍ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي بِخِلَافِهِ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ He -asws said: ‘How can a man -saww come over to the people and he -saww informs them that he -saww has come from Allah -azwj and that he -saww is inviting them to Allah -azwj by the Command of Allah -azwj , so he -saww is saying Visions cannot comprehend Him [6:103] , (and) and they do not comprehend Him in knowledge [20:110] , (and) There isn’t anything like Him [42:11] , then he -saww would be saying that: ‘I -saww saw Him -azwj with my -saww own eyes and I -saww comprehended Him -azwj in knowledge and He -azwj is upon an image of the person’?
Are you not ashamed of what would enable the atheists to pelt with this that he -saww happened to come from the Presence of Allah -azwj with something, then he -saww came with the opposite of it from another aspect?’ قَالَ أَبُو قُرَّةَ فَإِنَّهُ يَقُولُ وَ لَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرى فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ مَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى مَا رَأَى حَيْثُ قَالَ ما كَذَبَ الْفُؤادُ ما رَأى يَقُولُ مَا كَذَبَ فُؤَادُ مُحَمَّدٍ مَا رَأَتْ عَيْنَاهُ ثُمَّ أَخْبَرَ بِمَا رَأَى Abu Qurra said, ‘But He -azwj is Saying: And certainly he saw it [53:13] (meaning Him -azwj ) in another descent .’ So Abu Al-Hassan -asws said: ‘It is after the Verse indicating upon what he -saww saw where He -azwj Says: The heart of Muhammad did not belie what it saw [53:11] .
He -azwj is Saying that the heart of Muhammad -saww did not belie what his -saww eyes saw. Then He -azwj Informed with what he -saww saw. فَقَالَ لَقَدْ رَأى مِنْ آياتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرى فَآيَاتُ اللَّهِ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ وَ لا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِ عِلْماً فَإِذَا رَأَتْهُ الْأَبْصَارُ فَقَدْ أَحَاطَتْ بِهِ الْعِلْمُ وَ وَقَعَتِ الْمَعْرِفَةُ Then He -azwj Said: He saw of the greatest Signs of his Lord [53:18] .
So the Signs of Allah -azwj are other than Allah -azwj , and He -azwj had Said: and they do not comprehend Him in knowledge [20:110] .
