Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ: لَوْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَسَأَلْتُهُ. قَالَ: وَمَا كُنْتَ تَسْأَلُهُ؟ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ هَلْ رَأَى رَبَّهُ؟ قَالَ: فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ: "قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ نُورًا أَنَّى أَرَاهُ؟ " قَالَ عَفَّانُ: وَبَلَغَنِي عَنِ ابْنِ (٣) هِشَامٍ يَعْنِي مُعَاذًا، أَنَّهُ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، كَمَا قَالَ هَمَّامٌ: "قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ " (٤)، ،

English translation

Abdullah bin Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I said to Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), "I wish I had seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so I could have asked him just one question." He (Abu Dharr) said, "What question would you have asked him?" He (Abdullah) said, "I would have asked whether you have seen your Lord." Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I have already asked him that question, and in response he said, 'I saw a light, how could I see Him?'" The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.
