Aisha’s argument using the verse (No vision can grasp Him) to refute the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) seeing his Lord in this world

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is reported in the two Sahihs that Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) argued against the denial of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) vision of his Lord, saying that he saw his Lord, by citing the word of Allah the Exalted:
Vision perceives Him notلَّا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَبْصَارُ
[Al-An'am 6:103]
. It has been difficult for us to understand how this verse is the evidence of the Mu'tazilah for denying the vision. What is the explanation of this? He says: It is reported in the two Sahihs that Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) argued against the denial of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) vision of his Lord, saying that he saw his Lord, by citing the word of Allah the Exalted:
Vision perceives Him notلَّا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَبْصَارُ
[Al-An'am 6:103]
.

Answer:
What reached Aisha was what reached her, that he saw his Lord. Us, yes.
