The questioner:
And the term "person": Is it used to describe Allah?
The Shaykh:
This is mentioned in the hadith in the context of information, not in the context of names. They asked, "How do we see Him if He is one person?" This is a matter of information, not that Allah called Him "person." This is not among the names, but they were informed that He is one person.
The presenter:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
A person is the distinct, elevated thing that you see. Yes.
