The first response:

Those singled out for seeing Allah twice each day also share with the rest in seeing Him on Friday, and thus enjoy both kinds of vision. If their superiority lies in enjoying both, what prevents some of those below them from sharing with them in the “Friday vision” but not in the “morning and evening vision,” while others share with them in the “morning and evening vision” but not in the “Friday vision”? Those who enjoy the morning and evening vision without the Friday vision would not be superior in absolute terms. Rather, those who enjoy all of these are superior in absolute terms.

But it may be said: This would imply that women are superior to those men who enjoy the Friday vision but not the vision at the “two cool periods.” The reply is: This need not follow; the Friday vision alone may be better than the vision at the “two cool periods” alone.

It may also be said: Grant that this is so. At most, it entails preferring women over lower-ranking men. Although this is possible, it is far-fetched that every woman who enters Paradise should be superior to those who do not see Allah twice each day, for that would entail lower-ranking women being superior to lower-ranking men. This possibility should therefore be set aside, and we should confine ourselves to what was stated: those who enjoy the twice-daily vision together with the Friday vision are superior in absolute terms. This implication arose only because we are discussing the matter on the assumption that there is no vision apart from these two kinds. There is no doubt that this assumption is unquestionably false.

(The second response:

On what basis do you claim that “seeing Allah twice each day” is better than “seeing Him on Friday”? Certainly, it occurs more frequently, but the latter may be superior in quality. Thus, one kind may be greater in number, while the other is better in kind—as with a dinar and five dirhams
