What is the authenticity of the hadith: “Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me, for Satan cannot impersonate me”? And is it cited as evidence that he comes to any of the creation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : They cite a hadith, and I do not know to what extent it is authentic, which is
Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me, for Satan cannot impersonate me من رآني فكأنما رىني حقا فإن الشيطان لا يتمثل بي
.

The Shaykh : It is an authentic hadith.

The questioner : It is an authentic hadith, but it does not support the meaning they understand from it.

The Shaykh : No, I seek refuge in Allah.
Whoever sees me in a dream will see me in his wakefulness من رآني في المنام فسيراني في اليقظة
Sahih al-Bukhari 6993
This means it is a glad tidings that one sees the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in Paradise.

The questioner : As for him speaking to him and telling him to convey this message, that is not established.

The Shaykh : Never. Please, go ahead.
