Issues In which Abu Hanifa differed with his teacher Hammad ibn Abi Sulayman

Abstract

This research deals with the subject of the Children of Israel’s request to Moses, peace be upon him, to see God Almighty openly in verses {55-56} of Surah Al-Baqarah, which reveals an aspect of the transgressions and nonsense of the Children of Israel towards the Creator, may He be glorified and exalted. Their question was not out of a desire to be close to God Almighty, but rather out of arrogance and defiance, which is one of the tyranny that has become the way of the materialists. When Moses, peace be upon him, met God and took the Torah, they declared that they would not believe in you as a prophet until they saw God openly. So a fire came down from the sky and left them dead while they were looking on, then God Almighty revived them after their death. Perhaps they will thank Him, as the Holy Qur’an has stated. We have addressed the topic, mentioning the views of the interpreters in this field and what has been reported from them of interpretive visions that serve the purpose of researching these two verses, since the talk is about vision in this world, leaving the issue of seeing God Almighty to the scholars of creed as it is, and the research has no relation to seeing God Almighty as presented by the scholars of theology, since students of knowledge have written research and letters on it, so there is no need to look at this topic from that angle.
