((إِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ - قَالَ - يَقُولُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: تُرِيدُونَ شَيْئًا أَزِيدُكُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: أَلَمْ تُبَيِّضْ وُجُوهَ

"When those deserving of Paradise would enter Paradise, the Blessed and the Exalted (Allāh) would ask: Do you wish Me to give you anything more? They would say: Have you not brightened our faces? Have you not made us enter Paradise and saved us from Fire? He (the narrator) said: He (Allāh) would then lift the veil, and of things given to them nothing would be dearer to them than the sight of their Lord, the Mighty and the Glorious. Then the Messenger of Allāh recited this Verse: 'For those who have done good is the best reward and even more'."
[Muslim 181]
(2) On the authority of 'Abdullāh ibn Jarīr, may Allāh be pleased with him, who said: "We were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he looked at the moon on the night of the full moon and said:
((إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذَا الْقَمَرَ لاَ تُضَامُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَتِهِ))
"You will see your Lord as you see this full moon, and you will have no trouble in seeing Him."
[Bukhāri and Muslim]
NOTE:
The comparison in this ḥadīth is between looking at one thing and another - not the things being looked at, i.e. just as we clearly see the full moon at night, so too will the believers see their Lord in the Hereafter.
As for the Ijmā':
Ibnul Qayyim [D. 751 H], may Allāh have mercy on him, states:
«اتفق عليها الأنبياء والمرسلون، وجميع الصحابة والتابعون، وأئمة الإسلام على تتابع القرون»
"The Prophets and Messengers were agreed in this affair, as too were all the Ṣaḥābah and Tābi'ūn, as well as the great scholars of Islām in every century."
[Ḥādil-Arwāḥ pg. 326 - 380]
There are many more proofs in this regard, but the ones we have cited are the most explicit, and in them is great contentment for those who Allāh has granted success and guidance.
We suffice with this, and we ask Allāh to save us from His punishment and to bestow upon us the joy of looking at His Majestic Face
