Fatwa No. ( 999 ):
Q: The substance of the question is that a paper reached him stating that the Shaykh Ahmad , the servant of the Prophet's Chamber, saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he prepared for sleep, and that he informed him of the abundance of corruption among the people, and informed him that one hundred and sixty thousand of his Ummah die every Friday upon other than Islam, and informed him of some of the signs of the Hour and its nearness, and ordered him to announce the will to the people, and informed him of the beautiful reward for whoever believes it and strives to spread it, and of the warning for whoever lies about it, conceals it, and does not convey it to the people... etc., as mentioned in the vision.
A: It is rationally possible and religiously permissible for a Muslim to see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his dream in the form and image in which Allah created him, and thus it would be a true vision, for Satan does not take his form; as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2276Sahih (Darussalam) narrated by the Imam Ahmad , and al-Bukhari through the route of Anas, but a person may lie and falsely claim that he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the form in which Allah created him, which was transmitted to us with authentic transmission, and he may see in his dream a person in a form other than the created attribute
The vision attributed to the Shaykh Ahmad , the servant of the Prophet's Chamber, if its attribution to him is not authentic, is fabricated and false, and this is the apparent case, for it is still claimed by an unknown claimant who calls himself: Shaykh Ahmad , and claims that he saw this vision, and Shaykh Ahmad , the servant of the Chamber, passed away a long time ago, as his family and those closest to him informed when asked about it, and they denied the attribution of this vision to him, and they are the people closest to him and most knowledgeable of his condition. And if its attribution to him is authentic, then it is either a lie from him and a fabrication against the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or it is confused dreams and false imagination, and a deception by Satan upon the seer, and it is not a truthful vision. And what indicates that it is a lie and slander, or imagination and falsehood, is what it contains of things that conflict with reality and the Shari'ah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). As for its conflict with reality, it is still claimed and spread repeatedly after his death, and his family and those closest to him denied its attribution to him when asked about it. As for its conflict with the Islamic Shari'ah, it is due to what it contains of the following matters: First: The information in it about specifying the number of those who died from this Ummah
upon other than Islam from Friday to Friday, and this is among the matters of the unseen which humans do not know, only Allah knows it, and those of His messengers whom He reveals it to during their lifetimes, and the message to humans was cut off with the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah the Exalted said:[An-Naml 27:65], and He said: [Al-Jinn 72:26-27], and He said: [Al-Ahzab 33:40]. Second: His information about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said to him: (I am ashamed of the ugly actions of the people and I was not able to face my Lord and the angels), for this is falsehood and deniable news; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does not know the conditions of his Ummah after his death, rather he does not know of them during his life in this world except what he saw with his own eyes, or what was informed to him by those who had access to it, or what Allah revealed to him. So from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon and said: narrated by al-Bukhari. And even if he knows the conditions of his Ummah after his death, no hardship befalls him because of it, and no sin or shame strikes him due to the multitude of their sins and disobedience. And it is established in the hadith of the Great Intercession that the people of the Standing, disbelievers and Muslims, seek intercession through the prophets one after another when the terror of the Standing becomes severe for them, and each of them excuses himself from interceding for them with Allah, then the people of the Standing reach the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and ask him to intercede for them with Allah, so he responds to them and the multitude of their sins or the disbelief of the disbelievers among them does not prevent him from interceding for them, nor is he ashamed of it, rather he goes and prostrates under the Throne and praises his Lord and extols Him with praises which He teaches him until He orders him to raise his head and intercede for them, and after that they depart for the Reckoning and the recompense.. And nothing prevented him from meeting his Lord and facing the angels, and no disgrace befalls him from it. Third: His information about the great recompense that follows from writing this will and transferring it from one place to another or from one country to another, and specifying the recompense
of the deeds and determining it is among the matters of the unseen which only Allah knows, and the revelation to humans was cut off with the death of the Seal of the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon him), so claiming knowledge of it is false, and the so-called Shaykh Ahmad claimed it where he said in the false will: (And whoever writes it and sends it from one country to another and from one place to another, a palace is built for him in Paradise), and he said: (And whoever writes it and was poor, Allah enriched him, or was in debt, Allah paid off his debt, or had a sin, Allah forgave it for him and his parents), so he is a liar in that. And likewise his information about the severe warning that befalls whoever does not write it and send it, and his specifying it as being that he is deprived of the intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his face becomes black in this world and the Hereafter, where he said in it: (And whoever does not write it and send it, my intercession is forbidden to him on the Day of Resurrection), and he said: (And whoever among the servants of Allah does not write it, his face becomes black in this world and the Hereafter), so this is also among the unseen which only Allah knows by its determination, so informing about it after the revelation to humans was cut off is speaking of the unseen without knowledge, and a lie and falsehood. And likewise his saying in it: (And whoever believes in it is saved from the punishment of the Fire, and whoever denies it disbelieves), so this is also falsehood and slander, for denying a vision coming from other than the prophets is not considered disbelief by the consensus of the Muslims. Fourth: Indeed, everything he informed about of promise and warning by way of specification and determination includes legislation encouraging the writing of the will and conveying it
and spreading it among the people to act upon it and believe in what is in it, hoping for the reward which he specified, and it includes legislation prohibiting its concealment and negligence in conveying and spreading it, and warning against that, fearing that what he informed of as a severe warning of being deprived of intercession and the blackening of his face will befall whoever conceals it or is negligent in spreading it. Fifth: The lack of proportion between what he informed of as recompense and the deeds, and this is evidence of fabrication and lying in the information, besides these matters of lies, so the Muslim must beware of this so-called will and work to eliminate it. And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and his family and his Companions.

Whoever saw me (in a dream) while sleeping then he has indeed seen me. For indeed the Shaitan can not resemble me.

Allah the Exalted said:
Say, "None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allah
قُلْ لاَ يَعْلَمُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ الْغَيْبَ إِلا اللَّهُ(26) [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone (27) Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers
عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلا يُظْهِرُ عَلَى غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا (26) إِلا مَنِ ارْتَضَى مِنْ رَسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًاMuhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but [he is] the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets
مَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِنْ رِجَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَYou will be gathered before Allah barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised. Then he recited: . Until he said: “Except that men from my Ummah will be brought and taken to the left, so I will say: ‘O my Lord, my companions!’ It will be said: ‘You do not know what they innovated after you.’ So I will say as the righteous servant said: . It will be said: ‘These people have continued to turn back on their heels in apostasy since you left them.’”
