Question:
He asks another question and says: Is seeing the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream a truthful vision?
Answer:
Yes, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 110 So if he sees him in his form, of medium stature, white in complexion with a tinge of redness, having a thick, moderate beard with a little gray in it, one of the most handsome of men, indeed the most handsome of men—(peace and blessings be upon him); if he sees him in his form, then it is Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), provided he knows his appearance. Among the proofs of this is that he commands him to do good and forbids him from evil. However, if he commands him to commit sins or innovations, this is a sign that it is not the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but rather a devil among the devils. Or if he sees him in a state other than his form (peace and blessings be upon him), then he has not seen him. If he sees him shaved, or sees him as a young man without a beard, or sees him as a young man whose black beard has turned gray, or something similar, this is proof that he did not see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); because he said: Sahih al-Bukhari 110 (peace and blessings be upon him).
The devil may take the form of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in many forms to mislead people and call them to associating partners with Allah , but he cannot take his form (peace and blessings be upon him). So if he sees him in his form (peace and blessings be upon him), then he sees him. But the image may be confused for him; he may not understand the image; he may command him to do evil or sins. All of this is proof that he did not see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Among the signs that it is his form is that he commands him to practice the oneness of Allah, commands him to do good, commands him to be dutiful to his parents, and commands him to obey Allah and His Messenger. These are among the signs that it is the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

Answer:
Yes, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And whoever sees me in a dream then surely he has seen me for Satan cannot impersonate me.
من رآني في المنام فقد رآني، فإن الشيطان لا يتمثل في صورتيcannot impersonate me
لا يتمثل في صورتيThe devil may take the form of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in many forms to mislead people and call them to associating partners with Allah , but he cannot take his form (peace and blessings be upon him).
