Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is seeing Allah in a dream in its true reality, such that Satan does not take His form?
Answer:
Yes, seeing Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) in a dream is for the one who knows the greatness of Allah and His attributes. As for the ignorant one who does not know, Satan may imagine it for him. But the scholar who knows sees that Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) saw Allah in a dream. This is for the firmly established scholar who knows the names of Allah and His attributes, and Satan does not manipulate him.
