A Collection of Hadiths on Seeing Allah in Wakefulness and in Dreams

Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: How do I reconcile the hadith of seeing Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with the hadith affirming the seeing of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith “We saw the horn of the sun,” until he said, “I rose from the night as much as was allotted to me, then my sleep became heavy and I saw Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He).”

Answer:
On the night of the Isra, I mean the night of the Mi'raj. The Messenger did not see Allah in this world. There is disagreement regarding the night of the Mi'raj: did he see Him with his eye or not? My intention with the questioner now is the dream, my brother. The discussion is about wakefulness. The Messenger did not see his Lord in wakefulness. As for in a dream, yes, the Messenger sees his Lord in a dream, and other than the Messenger sees his Lord in a dream. A dream is not the state of wakefulness, so there is no contradiction between the hadiths. If you had read before you asked, the matter would have been clear to you. This is a dream, not the seeing in wakefulness. The disagreement is about the seeing in wakefulness on the night of the Mi'raj.
