Abstract

Many hadiths about the proof or denial of seeing God have been narrated in the hadith communities of both sects, which indicates the importance of this issue. According to a hadith attributed to the Prophet (PBUH), the seeing of God by believers on the Day of Judgment is certain. Accordingly, one of the Sunni writers, named Azazi, believes that Imami scholars have considered the chain of transmission and the text of this narration to be problematic, therefore, while raising doubts about the reliability of Sahih Bukhari's hadiths, they deny.This writer, with a critical view, while presenting reasons such as: proving the reliability of the narrators of this hadith, justifying textual conflicts, citing verses and narrations, and also criticizing the Imami rational arguments about the denial of visual vision, accuses that school of being biased in denying the beliefs of Sunnis, therefore, . The present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, arguments are not sound from the perspective of the chain of transmission (lack of careful examination of the narrators' circumstances), Quranic and narrational (contrary to the linguistic and syntactic rules of verses and narrations), and rational (selective and incorrect transmission of the Imamiyyah's rational view).
