Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا عَامِرٌ قَالَ أَتَى مَسْرُوقٌ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ هَلْ رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَبَّهُ قَالَتْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ قَفَّ شَعْرِي لِمَا 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 } { وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا وَحْيًا أَوْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ } وَمَنْ أَخْبَرَكَ بِمَا فِي غَدٍ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ { إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْأَرْحَامِ } هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ وَمَنْ أَخْبَرَكَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَتَمَ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ { يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ } وَلَكِنَّهُ رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ فِي صُورَتِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ.
English Translation
Masruq came to Aisha and said: "O Mother of the Believers, did Muhammad (peace be upon him) see his Lord?" She said: "SubhanAllah! My hair stood on end from what you said. Know three things: whoever tells you them has lied. Whoever tells you that Muhammad (peace be upon him) saw his Lord has lied." Then she recited: "Vision perceives Him not, but He perceives all vision" and "It is not fitting for a human being that Allah should speak to him except by revelation, or from behind a veil." "And whoever tells you he knows what will happen tomorrow has lied." Then she recited: "Indeed, Allah alone has knowledge of the Hour..." "And whoever tells you that Muhammad (peace be upon him) concealed (any part of the revelation) has lied." Then she recited: "O Messenger, convey what has been revealed to you from your Lord." "But he saw Jibril in his true form twice."
