What are the most authentic evidences to affirm the Sifaatul-Saaq for Allaah ta'ala according to the Salafee Ulama?
If any can list them in English I would be very grateful.
Wassalam
فمن كان يريد حقا الرجوع الى الكتاب والسنة, فليزمه الرجوع الى ما كان عليه أصحاب النبي عليه السلام و التابعين و أتباعهم من بعدهم
in the qur'aan: 68:42
in the sunnah: saheeh al-bukhaaree (darussalam): vol. 9, #7439, pg. 322; vol. 6, #4919, pg. 367
note: the hadeeth #s above will not match up with those found on sahihalbukhari.com. for the second hadeeth, sahihalbukhari.com reads: "Allah will bring forth the severest Hour" where it should make mention of the Shin of Allaah. i was not able to find the first hadeeth at sahihalbukhari.com.

...Then the Almighty will come to them in a form other than the one which they saw the first time, and He will say, 'I am your Lord,' and they will say, 'You are our Lord.' And none will speak to Him then but the Prophets, and then it will be said to them, 'Do you know any sign by which you can recognize Him?' They will say. 'The Shin,' and so Allah will then uncover His Shin whereupon every believer will prostrate before Him and there will remain those who used to prostrate before Him just for showing off and for gaining good reputation. These people will try to prostrate but their backs will be rigid like one piece of a wood (and they will not be able to prostrate)...

quote:
Allah will lay bare His Shin and then all the believers, men and momen, will prostrate themselves before Him; but there will remain those who used to prostrate themselves in the world for showing off and for gaining good reputation. Such a one will try to prostrate himself (on the Day of Judgement) but his back (bones) will become a single (vertebra) bone (so he will not be able to prostrate).
