Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it possible to see Allah in a dream? And what is the authenticity of what is transmitted from Imam Ahmad that he said, "I saw my Lord, so I said to Him, 'What is the thing I love most to draw near to You with?' He said, 'My words, O Ahmad.'" And what is the authenticity of what is attributed to Imam Abu Hanifah that he said, "I saw my Lord in a dream"? Is this authentic?

Answer:
Yes, seeing is possible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw his Lord in a dream, as is authentic in the hadith
