I said to Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ : Had I seen the Messenger of Allah, I would have asked him. He (Abu Dharr) said: What is that thing that you wanted to inquire of him? He said: I wanted to ask him whether he had seen his Lord. Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ said: I, in fact, inquired of him, and he replied: I saw Light.
