Abdur Razzaq, Hammam's son said, "Such was the conviction of Hasan Al Basri that he would swear by Allah that Prophet Muhammad saw his Lord." A theologian said that when Abu Hurayrah was asked, "Did Muhammad see his Lord?" He replied, "Yes."
The authentic transmissions relating to the Prophet seeing His Lord are numerous. An-Naqqash said that Ahmad, Hannbal's son said, "The meaning of Abbas' son's statement is that he saw Him with his eye!" He repeated this phrase so many times until he ran out of breath.
As for Sa'id, Jubair's son he said, "I do not say that he saw Him, nor do I say that he did not see Him."
Abbas' son, Ikrima, Al Hasan Al Basri and Masood's son differ in their interpretation of the verse. Abbas' son and Ikrima both say, "He (the Prophet) saw Him with his heart. Whereas Al Hasan Al Basri and Masood's son say, "He (the Prophet) saw Gabriel." Abdullah, the son of Ahmad, son of Hanbal said that his father said, "He (the Prophet) saw Him."
Ata's son draws our attention to the verse, "Have We not expanded your chest for you" (94:1), and says that this means that Allah expanded his chest in order to receive the vision whereas He expanded the chest of Moses for speech.
Al Ashari and his companions are all of the opinion that he saw Allah with his physical eyes, and said, "Each prophet is given a sign. Our Prophet was also given one. Out of all of the prophets he was selected to receive the vision of Him." A shaykh was somewhat hesitant and said, "There is no clear proof for it, however it is permitted for it to be so."
It is an indisputable truth that, it is conceivable for him to have seen Allah in this life, and there is nothing to make it logically impossible, (unless one describes Allah with a physique, in which case it would be impossible). The supporting proof that it is permissible in this life is, you will recall that, Prophet Moses asked for it, and it is impossible for a prophet not to know what is permitted for Allah, and what is permitted for himself. Undoubtedly, Moses would have only asked for something permissible, not something impossible. The fact of the matter is the actual sighting of Allah, and the witnessing of Prophet Moses is from the Unseen world, and none except someone who is taught by Allah has any knowledge of such.
Allah told Moses, "You shall not see Me. But look at the mountain, if it remains firm in its place, then you shall see Me" (7:143). This verse means that Moses would not be able to bear the seeing of Allah. To illustrate this, Allah made the mountain, which was far stronger and firmer than Moses' physical form, to be crushed and leveled.
