Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: Can a person see the angels in their true form, whether in sleep or in wakefulness?
Answer:
This is something that has not happened except to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He saw Jibril (peace be upon him) twice in his true form. As for people, they cannot see an angel in its true form unless punishment is present, may Allah protect us from that, or death is present, for then he sees them in their true form[Al-Furqan 25:22]. So he sees them in their true form at the end of his term when they come to take his soul, and he sees them when his soul is being taken, and they are seen when the punishment descends if it comes to destroy the nations, or at the Hour. Yes.

The day they see the angels - no good tidings will there be that day for the criminals
يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا بُشْرَىٰ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُجْرِمِينَ
