What is the answer to the one who cites the hadith (And my servant keeps drawing near to Me with voluntary acts of worship…) as proof that he hears with the hearing of Allah?

The questioner:
A questioner says: What is the response to the one who cites the understanding of the Qudsi hadith and so on, that he hears with the hearing of Allah, and cites as proof for this the karamah (miracle granted to a righteous person) of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)?

The Shaykh:
What do we hear?

The questioner:
That he hears with the hearing of Allah.

The Shaykh:
Who said this? This is the doctrine of the unity of existence. This is a part of the unity of existence, which claims that the created being is the Creator, and the hearing of the created being is the hearing of the Creator, and its sight is the sight of the Creator. This is the unity of existence; it is a lie and a fabrication. Yes, but Allah guides his statement: "He hears with it and sees with it" means that Allah guides him and preserves him in his hearing and his sight.
