What is the criterion for dreams coming true as they were seen in the dream?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, Salim.
The questioner : May Allah forgive you, what we have experienced regarding dreams.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : What we have experienced regarding dreams depends on the state of the person. In the dreams of righteous people, they came true exactly as they were, in a clear manner. But for some people... the state of the person is such that Shayatins imagine things to them, may Allah grant us pardon and well-being. And look, it is sorcery by Shayatins... around the grave.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is observed.
The questioner : In dreams, we have experienced this.
The Shaykh : There is no doubt that Shaytan cannot take the form of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); he is unable to do so.
Then, some people, glory be to Allah, are not at that level in matters of worship and knowledge, and if they see a dream that comes true on the day they saw it in the manner they saw it, it is not a coincidence in the manner of what they saw. For this reason, he says, "I am exhausted when I sleep; I fear that I will see a disliked dream and it will come true." And Allah, we have no solution for this. He is asking for a solution, meaning, we have no solution for this.
