Sh. ʿAlī b. Ḥasan al-Ḥalabī رَحِمَهُ اللهُ said to al-Imām al-Albānī رَحِمَهُ اللهُ,

“Our Shaykh, is it not said regarding this verse {Allāh is the light of the heavens and the earth} that the verse which comes after it, it is as though it contains an indication that al-Nūr is not from the Names [of Allāh] based on the evidence {The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp}, thus the light came in the possessive form.”

Imām al-Albānī replied, “Yes, it is like a simile (tashbīh).”
