Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: The author of *Nail al-Awtar* transmitted from al-Baji that the hadith in which it is said, "No one knows them in the darkness,"
Answer:
Al-Baji erred in this, may Allah have mercy on him. He said that the evidence for *sufur* (uncovering) and not covering their faces is [found in it]. The commentator refuted him, and others refuted him as well. There is no evidence in it for that.
