(16) CHAPTER. The Statement of Allah: “... Everytl1ing will perish save His Face...” (V.28:88) [That means that Allah will never perish].
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: when this Verse:--'Say (O Muhammad!): He has Power to send torments on you from above,' (6.65) was revealed; The Prophet said, I take refuge with Your Face. Allah revealed:-- '..or from underneath your feet.' (6.65) The Prophet then said, I seek refuge with Your Face! Then Allah revealed:--'...or confuse you in party-strife.' (6.65) Oh that, the Prophet said, This is easier.
