How to reconcile the statement of Allah the Exalted: "No! Indeed, they will be veiled from their Lord that Day" with the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This questioner wants to reconcile the statement of Allah the Exalted
No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ
[Al-Mutaffifin 83:15]


The Shaykh : with His statement.

The questioner : What is it?

The Shaykh : with His statement.

The questioner : with the statement of Allah the Exalted
No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned. كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبون
[Al-Mutaffifin 83:15]
and the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
There will be none among you but his Lord will talk to him, and there will be no interpreter between him and Allah. ليس منكم أحد إلا سيكلمه ربه ليس بينه وبينه ترجمان
Sahih al-Bukhari 7512

The Shaykh : Yes, there is no contradiction between the verse and what is mentioned in the hadith, because the seeing of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is divided into two categories: seeing of encompassing knowledge, which is general for everyone. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) sees everyone in secret and in public, in the night and in the day, in anger and in wrath.
The second is seeing of mercy and compassion. This is specific to the believers, and it is what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) denied for the disbelievers when He said
Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned. إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبون
[Al-Mutaffifin 83:15]
This is seeing of pleasure and acceptance, which is impossible for the disbelievers and established for the believers. Yes.
