In the hadith, "You will see your Lord," is this restricted by the other hadith, which is the seeing of the Face of Allah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he explained the increase, said it is the seeing of the Face of Allah. And in the hadith, "You will see your Lord," this was not restricted to the Face.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : What is your opinion, my master?

The Shaykh : It appears that they see the Face of Allah. "You will see your Lord" means His Face; this is the criterion.

The questioner : That the patient has a vision; the patient's vision is likened to the likeness of the illness. It is a likeness of the seeing to the seeing, not a likeness of the illness to the illness. Yes.

The Shaykh : No problem.

The questioner : He does not see a part of Him, a part of Him.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : A liar?

The Shaykh : And what we said is that it is not a likeness of the person to the person. It is a likeness of the seeing to the seeing, meaning a distorted seeing, regardless of the shape of the moon. The shape of the moon has no bearing on this matter.
