The Shaykh :"From the Light of the Face of the Lord, Exalted is His Majesty *** And so al-Tabarani the Hafiz reported it"
So, al-Darimi and al-Tabarani reported it. But note that this light, which is separate from His Essence, is what kind of light? It is a created light. It is not the Light of Allah, which is the Light of His Essence. Rather, it is a light that He, the Exalted and Majestic, created. But because it was light, and because the Light described it as light, the Light created the light.
He said: "By it the Throne and the Footstool shone, along with *** the seven heavens and the rest of the creations"
It is permissible to say: "and the rest of the creations", meaning, and along with the rest of the creations.
