Asian Massive Crew Community 2002/2020 - Hadith on Divine Power: If He were to remove His veil, it would consume all creation

Abu Musa narrated (رضي الله عنه): The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, “Indeed, Allah Almighty and Exalted does not sleep and it is not befitting that He sleep. He lowers and raises the scale. The deeds of the night are raised to Him before the deeds of the day, and the deeds of the day are raised to Him before the night. His veil is light. [In the hadith narrated by Abu Bakr the word is “fire” instead of light]. If He were to remove the veil, the splendor of his countenance would consume His creation as far as can be seen.”

[Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Number 0343]

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِخَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لاَ يَنَامُ وَلاَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَنَامَ يَخْفِضُ الْقِسْطَ وَيَرْفَعُهُ يُرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ عَمَلُ اللَّيْلِ قَبْلَ عَمَلِ النَّهَارِ وَعَمَلُ النَّهَارِ قَبْلَ عَمَلِ اللَّيْلِ حِجَابُهُ النُّورُ – وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ النَّارُ – لَوْ كَشَفَهُ لأَحْرَقَتْ سُبُحَاتُ وَجْهِهِ مَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ بَصَرُهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ
