Is it possible to see the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you and bless you. Seeing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream: is it for the person to claim it, or is that considered showing off in worship?

The Shaykh:
Not everyone who sees a dream...

The questioner:
...and claims to have seen the Prophet, is that true, unless he knows the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by his characteristics that are not found in anyone else. If he knows the characteristics of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him...

The Shaykh:
...peace and blessings be upon him), it is authentically reported from him that he said: "Whoever sees me has truly seen me, for Satan does not resemble me." But the one who does not know the characteristics of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Satan may come to him and take his form, saying, "I am the Messenger," because this person does not know the characteristics of the Prophet that distinguish him from others. So not every vision of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is true, unless the servant has complete knowledge of the characteristics of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that distinguish him from others and that Satan does not resemble. Yes.
