Sahih Muslim Book - 1, Hadith - 439

حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ مُتَّكِئًا عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا أَبَا عَائِشَةَ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِوَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ فَقَدْ أَعْظَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْفِرْيَةَ قُلْتُ مَا هُنَّ قَالَتْ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى رَبَّهُ فَقَدْ أَعْظَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْفِرْيَةَ قَالَ وَكُنْتُ مُتَّكِئًا فَجَلَسْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْظِرِينِي وَلَا تَعْجَلِينِي أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ { وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ } { وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى } فَقَالَتْ أَنَا أَوَّلُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ سَأَلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ جِبْرِيلُ لَمْ أَرَهُ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ الَّتِي خُلِقَ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرَ هَاتَيْنِ الْمَرَّتَيْنِ رَأَيْتُهُ مُنْهَبِطًا مِنْ السَّمَاءِ سَادًّا عِظَمُ خَلْقِهِ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَتْ أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ { لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الْأَبْصَارَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ } أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ { وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا وَحْيًا أَوْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ أَوْ يُرْسِلَ رَسُولًا فَيُوحِيَ بِإِذْنِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ إِنَّهُ عَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ } قَالَتْ وَمَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَتَمَ شَيْئًا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ أَعْظَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْفِرْيَةَ وَاللَّهُ يَقُولُ { يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ } قَالَتْ وَمَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ يُخْبِرُ بِمَا يَكُونُ فِي غَدٍ فَقَدْ أَعْظَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْفِرْيَةَ وَاللَّهُ يَقُولُ{ قُلْ لَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ الْغَيْبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ }.

It was narrated that Masruq said: "I was reclining at 'Aishah's and she said: 'O Abu 'Aishah, there are three things, whoever speaks of one of them has fabricated a great lie against Allah.' I said: 'What are they?' She said: 'Whoever claims that Muhammad (s.a.w) saw his Lord has fabricated a great lie against Allah.'" He said: "I was reclining, but I sat up and said: 'O Mother of the Believers, wait for me and do not rush me. Didn't Allah say: "And indeed he saw him in the clear horizon." and: "And indeed he saw him at a second descent.''? She said: 'I was the first one of this Ummah to ask the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) about that, and he said: "That was only Jibril - I did not see him in his form which he was created in except on these two occasions. I saw him descending from heaven, the greatness of his form filling the space between heaven and earth.'" She said: 'Have you not heard the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: "No vision can grasp Him, but He grasps all vision. He is Al-Laiff (the Most Subtle and Courteous), Well-Acquainted with all things."? And have you not heard Allah's saying: "It is not given to any human being that Allah should speak to him unless (it be) by Revelation, or from behind a veil, or (that) He sends a Messenger to reveal what He wills by His Leave. Verily, He is Most High, Most Wise."? She said: 'Whoever claims that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) concealed anything of the Book of Allah has fabricated a great lie against Allah, for Allah says : O Messenger! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord. And if you do not, then you have not conveyed His Message..."' And she said: 'And whoever claims to have been told what will happen tomorrow, he has fabricated a great lie against Allah, for Allah says: "Say: None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghaib (unseen) except Allah...'"
