Sahih MuslimHadith Number 633b
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ وَوَكِيعٌ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَقَالَ " أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ سَتُعْرَضُونَ عَلَى رَبِّكُمْ فَتَرَوْنَهُ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذَا الْقَمَرَ " . وَقَالَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ . وَلَمْ يَقُلْ جَرِيرٌ .
Waki' reported (this hadith) with the same chain of transmitters (that the Holy Prophet) said: You will be soon presented before your Lord, and you will see Him as you are seeing this moon, and then recited (the above-mentioned verse). But (in this hadith) no mention is made of Jarir.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 633b
Competitor-style search intent for this narration points to “you will see your Lord like the moon hadith,” with related terms like “Sahih Muslim 633b,” “seeing Allah hadith,” and “full moon narration.” This version reports the same chain and gives a slightly different wording. It says that people will soon be presented before their Lord and will see Him as they see the moon. The report also says the verse was recited afterward, but it does not mention Jarir by name in that ending. The main lesson stays focused: the hadith speaks about being presented before Allah and seeing Him in a way compared to the clear sight of the moon. Since the narration is brief, it should not be stretched beyond what it says. It is a report of belief, reminder, and hope, tied to the wording preserved here.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration mentions being presented before the Lord.
- It compares seeing the Lord to seeing the moon clearly.
- The report includes the recitation of the related verse.
- This version notes that Jarir is not named in the closing wording.
