Mishkat al-Masabih 28 Events of the Day of Resurrection and the Beginning of Creation كتاب أحوال القيامة وبدء الخلق 129

وَعَن أبي رزين الْعقيلِيّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَكُلُّنَا يَرَى رَبَّهُ مُخْلِيًا بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ قَالَ: «بَلَى» . قَالَ: وَمَا آيَةُ ذَلِكَ فِي خَلْقِهِ؟ قَالَ: «يَا أَبَا رَزِينٍ أَلَيْسَ كُلُّكُمْ يَرَى الْقَمَرَ لَيْلَةَ البدرِ مُخْلِيًا بِهِ؟» قَالَ: بَلَى. قَالَ: «فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ خَلْقٌ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَجَلُّ وَأَعْظَمُ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد

Abu Razin al-`Uqaili told that he asked, “Messenger of God, will each one of us see his Lord, being alone with Him, on the day of resurrection?” and received the reply, “Certainly.” He asked, “What sign is there of that in His creation?” and received the reply, “Abu Razin, does each one of you not see the moon on the night when it is full, being alone with it?” When he agreed, he said, “It is only a part of God’s creation, but God is more glorious and greater.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.
