627—Jafar ibn Muhammad al-Sandalī narrated to us, saying: Zuhayr ibn Muhammad ⦗1049⦘ al-Marwazī informed us, saying: Amr ibn Talhah al-Qannād informed us, saying: Asbāt ibn Nasr informed us, from Simāk, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas—may Allah be pleased with him—regarding the verse, “And he certainly saw Him another time” [al-Najm: 13]: the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—saw his Lord—Glorified and Exalted.

At that, a man asked ⦗1050⦘, “Did Allah—Glorified and Exalted—not say, ‘No vision can encompass Him, but He encompasses all vision’ [al-Anām: 103]?” Ikrimah replied, “Do you not see the sky?” He said, “Yes.” Ikrimah asked, “But do you see all of it?”
