Is it established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he pointed to his eye when he spoke about the eye of Allah the Exalted? And is it permissible for anyone to do the same?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : If it comes in the authentic hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he spoke about Allah (Mighty and Majestic) mentioning the Dajjal and said: Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 48:356 and pointed, he did not intend by this pointing to liken Allah to creation, but rather he intended to affirm that the attribute of sight for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is not the attribute of knowledge, this attribute to which the first of the Mu'tazilah attributed the two attributes mentioned in the previous verse: [Ash-Shuraa 42:11]. But I say, since people today are not on this sound Salafi methodology that combined knowledge and wisdom, it is not befitting for us to perform this action and make this pointing except with people who understand what we intend, so that this pointing is not exploited to say, "Here, these are those who liken Allah to creation and ascribe a body to Him." This is the answer.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of yourselves, what time is it?
The student : It is eleven and a quarter.
The Shaykh : Are we finished, if Allah wills?
The student : Brief questions, and I hope... more.
He is one-eyed, and your Lord is not one-eyed
إنه أعور ، وربُّكم ليس بأعورThere is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُThe questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of yourselves, what time is it?
The student : It is eleven and a quarter.
The Shaykh : Are we finished, if Allah wills?
The student : Brief questions, and I hope... more.
