Chapter: Affirming that the believers will see their Lord, Glorious is he and most high, in the hereafter

'Abdullah b. Qais transmitted on the authority of his father (Abu Musa Ash'ari) that the Apostle (ﷺ) said:

There would be two gardens (in Paradise) the vessels and contents of which would be of silver, and two gardens whose vessels and contents would be of gold. The only thing intervening to hinder the people from looking at their Lord will be the mantle of Grandeur over His face in the Garden of Eden.

Explanation
-Nawawi affirms seeing Allaah as this is the Ijma of the Salaf of this Ummah and rejects the Ta'weel of Khwaarij and Mu'tazilah and accused them of them being ugly, ignorant and clear mistake.

-More than 20 companions affirmed it.
-The majority state it's possible to see Allaah in he Dunya but not with a form, such as seeing him in a dream or him talking to you. the people of Kalam deny this. 

TN: Nawawi follows the way of the Asharis on denying direction for Allaah, but what is a matter of Ijmaa is that Allaah is above His Ursh, separate  from creation in a manner that suits His Majesty. 

He also says (3/24) that he denies body and direction for Allaah in trying to follow the Madhab of the Salaf (in accepting, not making Ta'weel and asking Kayf and making Ithbat according to his majesty) but agreeing with the people of Kalam as it's safer.

Benefit in Mustalah
-Khattabi said that the majority state that if a chain is connected with Thiqaat but if part of the chain is Mursal, or a chain is connected with Thiqaat then some of the scholars of Hadith make it Marfoo'; whereas others make it Mawqoof. In such a case of difference of opinion, then the Hukm is that it is Mutasil and Marfoo' as these are example of Ziyaadah Thiqah.

Sharh Sahih Muslim, 3/20-22
