Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the response to those who say that disagreement in creed is permissible because the Companions disagreed regarding the hadith of the vision?

Answer:
A liar. They did not disagree regarding the hadith of the vision. The vision of Allah. The Muslims did not disagree regarding it in the Hereafter. The vision of Allah in the Hereafter. The Muslims never disagreed regarding it. And they did not disagree that Allah is not seen in this world. Even Musa (peace be upon him), when he sought the vision in this world, was told by Him: "You will not see Me." So He is not seen in this world.
He did not see Him, neither Musa nor Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). He is not seen in this world, ever. He is only seen in the Hereafter. So the Muslims did not disagree, praise be to Allah. The people of the Sunnah and the community and the Companions did not disagree regarding the establishment of seeing Allah in Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. Some of them said that the Messenger saw his Lord on the night of the Mi'raj. This is an incorrect statement. The Messenger did not see his Lord. This is a minor point. They did not disagree regarding the vision itself, the original vision. They only disagreed regarding this minor point. Yes. But this person wants to mislead the people. Yes.
