Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If a person claims that he saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream, and that he told him such and such, is his statement to be accepted?
Answer:
His statement is not to be accepted if he knows the description of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), because Satan does not resemble the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). But if he does not know the description of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it is not permissible for him [to accept it], because Satan comes and says, "I am the Messenger," and you do not know the description of the Messenger. Yes, and you do not know the description of the Messenger. Yes.
