What is the correct understanding of the phrase "in a form other than His form" mentioned in the report (when Allah, Mighty and Majestic, comes in a form other than His form on the Day of Resurrection, then comes to them in His form)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Now, regarding the book *Mukhtasar al-'Ulu li-‘Ali al-Ghaffar*, it contains a report from Ibn al-Majishun, which is authenticated in this book. It mentions for him the hadith of the form; I mean by the hadith of the form: It seems that this hadith was difficult for one of the people present with him, and it appears he asked him how it changes or something like that. So he said: "O fool, He changes your eyes so that you see Him in a form other than His form" There was no comment in the margin on this, so what is the correct understanding in this matter?
The Shaykh : The correct understanding, as it appears to me, is not as was said, but rather that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, manifests and appears to people as a test for them in a form other than the form that Muslims know, and nothing else.
When Allah, Mighty and Majestic, comes in a form other than His form on the Day of Resurrection, then comes to them in His form
عندما يأتي الله عز وجل بصورة على غير صورته يوم القيامة ثم يأتيهم على صورتهThe Shaykh : The correct understanding, as it appears to me, is not as was said, but rather that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, manifests and appears to people as a test for them in a form other than the form that Muslims know, and nothing else.
