520 |a Some early commentators interpreted Kor 53, 5-11 as referring to the Prophet’s seeing God. Some versions of the story of the Prophet’s Ascension, thought to be alluded to at Kor 17, 1, include his seeing God. Other hadith reports assert that he saw God with reference to Kor 38, 69, 17, 36, and 6, 75. Controversy seems to have begun in the second/eighth century. Disagreement revolved around three main points: whether the Prophet saw God at all; if so, the manner of his seeing, whether by his eye or otherwise; and, if so, the appearance of God as a young man or as light. Affirmation that the Prophet saw God is especially associated with Basra and, from the later third/ninth century, the Ḥanbali school of law and theology, whereas denial is especially associated with Kufa. But there was disagreement even with regions and schools.
