Know that the Messenger of Allah did not see his Lord in this world, and the author says here that he saw his Lord in a dream in the most beautiful form!

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We have previously passed through, in a previous lesson, that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not see his Lord in this world according to the stronger position. So how do we reconcile this with the author’s statement that the Messenger saw his Lord in the most beautiful form?

Answer:
This is a dream, my brother, a dream in sleep. Glory be to Allah, did you not reflect before you asked? This is a dream in sleep. He saw his Lord, meaning in a dream, in the most beautiful form. He placed his hand, and the Lord placed His hand on the shoulder of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and he felt the coolness of His fingers on his chest. Then He, Glorified and Exalted is He, asked him about what the highest assembly is disputing. This is a dream in sleep. Yes.
