2a] The angels appear in human form; who sees them in their true form?

2a]
Narrated by Muslim (2567)
And there is other saheeh evidence from which is clear that the angels can be seen, but only in the form in which Allaah commands them to appear; and then everyone that Allaah decrees should see them will see them.
The one who claims that he sees the angels in theiroriginal form is a liar or is delusional. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw Jibreel in his true form, filling the horizon with sixhundred wings. Who can claim that he saw him at that time? Thus it is clear that there is no one among this ummah who can see the angels in theirtrue form except the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). As for children,they are like other people – they cannot see them unless they appear in human form.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Hence humans are unable to see an angel in his true form unless Allaah helps them, as He helped our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And they say: ‘Why has not an angel been sent down to him?’ Had We sent down an angel, the matter would have been judged at once, and no respite would be granted to them.
9. And had We appointed him an angel, We indeed would have made him a man, and We would have certainly confused them in which they are already confused (i.e. the Message of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)”
[al-An’aam 6:8-9]
More than one of the salafsaid: They are not able to see an angel in his true form. If We sent an angel down to them, We would make him appear in human form, and in that case they would be confused as to whether he was an angel or a man.So what benefit would it be if We sent an angel to them? So We sent to them a man of their own kind, whom they could see and learn from, and this was perfect kindness and mercy to mankind.

And Allaah knows best./ - - - :-> Transtors: 1.http://free-translation.imtranslator.net/lowres.asp 2.http://translate.google.com/m?twu=1&hl=en&vi=m&sl=auto&tl=en
