1035 — Abū Saīd Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ziyād al-Arābī narrated to us, saying: Ahmad ibn Abd al-Jabbār al-Utāridī narrated to us, saying: Yūnus ibn Bukayr narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Ishāq, from Abd al-Rahmān ibn al-Hārith ibn Abd Allah ibn Ayyāsh, from Abd Allah ibn Abī Salama, who said: Abd Allah ibn Umar sent a messenger to Abd Allah ibn Abbās to ask him, “Did Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) see his Lord—Mighty and Majestic?” He sent word back to him: “Yes, he did see Him.” Abd Allah ibn Umar then sent his messenger back to ask, “How did he see Him?” He replied, “He saw Him upon a golden chair carried by four angels: one angel in the form of a man, one in the form of a lion, one in the form of a bull, and one in the form of an eagle, in a verdant meadow, beneath Him a spread of gold.”
