“No vision can grasp Him

Ibn Umar reported: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would stand for prayer, he would raise his hands until they reached his shoulders; then, he would declare the greatness of Allah. When he intended to bow in prayer, he would do likewise; and when he would arise from bowing, he would do likewise. However, he would not do so when he raised his head from prostration.

[Sahih Muslim, Book 4, Number 759]

أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ لِلصَّلَاةِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى تَكُونَا حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ مِنْ الرُّكُوعِ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَلَا يَفْعَلُهُ حِينَ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ السُّجُودِ

390 صحيح مسلم كتاب الصلاة باب استحباب رفع اليدين حذو المنكبين مع تكبيرة الإحرام والركوع وفي الرفع من الركوع وأنه لا يفعله إذا رفع من السجود

 Masruq reported: I asked Aisha, “O mother, did Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, see his Lord?” Aisha said, “What you said makes my hair stand on end! Know that if someone tells you one of three things he is a liar. Whoever tells you that Muhammad saw his Lord is a liar.” Then she recited the verse, “No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision; and He is the Subtle, the Aware.” (6:103) and, “It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration or from behind a veil.” (42:51) Aisha said further, “And whoever tells you that the Prophet knows what will happen tomorrow is a liar.” Then she recited the verse, “No soul can know what it will earn tomorrow.” (31:34) Aisha said further, “And whoever tells you that the Prophet concealed the revelation is a liar.” Then she recited the verse, “O Messenger, proclaim the message which has been sent to you from your Lord.” (5:67) Aisha said further, “However, the Prophet did see Gabriel twice in his natural form.”

[Sahih Bukhari, Book 60, Number 378]

عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا يَا أُمَّتَاهْ هَلْ رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَبَّهُ فَقَالَتْ لَقَدْ قَفَّ شَعَرِي مِمَّا قُلْتَ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَهُنَّ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى رَبَّهُ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الْأَبْصَارَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُوَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا وَحْيًا أَوْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ وَمَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي غَدٍ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا وَمَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّهُ كَتَمَ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ الْآيَةَ وَلَكِنَّهُ رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام فِي صُورَتِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ
