Sahih al-Bukhari 4648 (Book 65, Hadith 376)
makes my hair stand on end ! Know that if somebody tells you one of the following three things, he is
a liar: Whoever tells you that Muhammad saw his Lord, is a liar.” Then Aisha recited the Verse:
‘No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. He is the Most Courteous Well-Acquainted
with all things.’ (6.103) ‘It is not fitting for a human being that Allah should speak to him except by
inspiration or from behind a veil.’ (42.51) `Aisha further said, “And whoever tells you that the
Prophet knows what is going to happen tomorrow, is a liar.” She then recited:
‘No soul can know what it will earn tomorrow.’ (31.34) She added: “And whoever tell you that he
concealed (some of Allah’s orders), is a liar.” Then she recited: ‘O Apostle! Proclaim (the Message)
which has been sent down to you from your Lord..’ (5.67) `Aisha added. “But the Prophet (ﷺ) saw Gabriel
in his true form twice.”
