Chapter: The saying of the Prophet: "Allah does not sleep" and "His veil is light, and if he were to remove it, the splendor of his face would burn all of his creation, as far as His Sight reaches".


The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was standing amongst us and he told us five things. He said: Verily the Exalted and Mighty God does not sleep, and it does not befit Him to sleep. He lowers the scale and lifts it. The deeds in the night are taken up to Him before the deeds of the day, and the deeds of the day before the deeds of the night. His veil is the light. In the hadith narrated by Abu Bakr (instead of the word "light" ) it is fire. If he withdraws it (the veil), the splendour of His countenance would consume His creation so far as His sight reaches.

Explanation
-He sends down brings up the deeds and Rizq
-There is affirmation for Light of His Face. 
-Nawawi affirms that Allah doesn't have a body, he is unlimited, he has a face and that he sees everything 

TN Ibn Taymiyyah and Uthaymeen states we can deny not having a body

-He is separate from his creation and He has a Hijab separating us, other Ahaadeeth it's called Ridaa'.

Sharh Sahih Muslim 3/17-19
