Thirdly: Is it possible that the reward is described with these great attributes:
وَandذُوpossessor ofالْجَلَالِthe majestyوَandالْإِكْرَامِthe honor﴾الرَّحْمَانِThe Most Merciful:٢٧27؟!
and is the possessor of majesty and honor (Quran 55:27)?
لَاnoيُمْكِنُcanلَوifقُلْنَاwe saidمَثَلًاfor example:جَزَاءَthe rewardالْمُتَّقِينَof the piousذُوpossessor ofجَلاَلٍmajestyوَandإِكْرَامٍhonor!فَهَذَاthis isلَاnotيَجُوزُpermissibleأَبَدًاeverوَاللَّهُand AllahتَعَالَىThe Most Highوَصَفَdescribedهَذَاthisالْوَجْهَfaceبِأَنَّهُas beingذُوpossessor ofالْجَلاَلِmajestyوَandالإِكْرَامِhonor.
It is not possible if we say, for example: the reward of the pious is the possessor of majesty and honor! This is never permissible, and Allah the Most High described this face as being the possessor of majesty and honor.

Fourthly: What do you say about the saying of the Messenger, peace be upon him: 'His veil is light; if it were to be revealed, the brightness of His face would burn what reaches His sight of His creation (1)?'

And thus, we have come to know the invalidity of their saying, and that it is obligatory upon us to interpret this face in that which Allah intended by it, and it is a face established by it, The Most Blessed and Exalted.
فَإِنْIfقُلْتُمْyou sayهَلis itكُلُّeverythingمَاthatجَاءَcameمِنْfromكَلِمَةٍthe word(الْوَجْهُ)(the face)مُضَافًاaddedإِلَىtoاللَّهِAllahيُرَادُis meantبِهِby it?
If you say, is everything that came from the word (the face) added to Allah meant by it?
فَالْجَوَابُThe answerهَذَاis this;هُوَIt isالأَصْلُthe origin;كَمَاAsفِيinقَوْلِهِHis sayingتَعَالَىThe Most High;﴿وَلَاand do notتَطْرُدُواdrive awayالَّذِينَthose whoيَدْعُونَcall uponرَبَّهُمْtheir Lordبِالْغَدَوَةِin the morningوَالْعَشِيِّand in the eveningيُرِيدُونَthey seekوَجْهَهُHis face (Quran 6:52);﴾[الْأَنعَامِ: ٥٢]وَمَاAnd notلَأَحَدٍanyoneعِندَهُwith Himمِنْofنِعْمَةٍblessingتُجْزَىis repaidإِلَّاexceptابْتِغَاءَto seekingوَجْهِthe faceرَبِّهِhis Lord (Quran 92:20);الْأَعْلَىthe Most High;*وَلَسَوْفَAnd surelyيَرْضَىwill be pleased.﴾[الَّيْلِ: ١٩-٢١]...وَمَاand whateverأَشْبَهَهَاis similar to itمِنْofالْآيَاتِthe verses.
The answer is this; it is the origin; as in the saying of the Most High: 'And do not drive away those who call upon their Lord in the morning and in the evening, seeking His face (Quran 6:52); and not for anyone with Him of blessing is repaid except to seeking the face of his Lord (Quran 92:20); and surely will be pleased.' And all that is similar to it from the verses.
فَالأَصْلُSo the originأَنْis thatالْمُرَادُthe intended meaningبِالْوَجْهِby the faceالْمُضَافُaddedإِلَىtoاللَّهِAllahوَجْهٌthe faceعَزِيزٌMightyوَجَلِيلٌand Majestic.
So the origin is that the intended meaning by the face added to Allah is the face of the Mighty and Majestic.
