The questioner: Your honor, the father (may Allah preserve him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the hadith narrated by Muslim: , so the question is: Does this mean that His vision (Glorified and Exalted is He) has a limit?
The Shaykh: What has a limit is the creation, meaning the created beings are what have a limit. As for His vision (the Exalted) and all His attributes, they have no defined limit. However, these created beings are limited. This is the intended meaning of the hadith. The limitation has no relation to the attribute, but only to the created being.
His veil is light; if He were to remove it, the radiance of His Face would consume everything to which His vision extends among His creation
حجابه النور ، لو كَشَفَه لَأحرقت سبحات وجهه ما انتهى إليه بصره من خلقهThe Shaykh: What has a limit is the creation, meaning the created beings are what have a limit. As for His vision (the Exalted) and all His attributes, they have no defined limit. However, these created beings are limited. This is the intended meaning of the hadith.
