Seeing Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in a dream

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Does Allah the Mighty and Majestic see anyone other than the prophets in dreams? Do people see Allah in dreams?

Answer:
Some scholars have stated that it is unique to Him, the Most Noble. However, the meaning of "face" involves likening Allah to creation. As for the face, it does not contain any of the attributes of creation; one sees light, or hears a voice, or something similar to that.
