Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appear to some people in dreams, meaning that they see him in a dream, as one of them claimed that his Shaykh sits with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while awake, not asleep? Is this correct?
Answer:
It is not correct that he sees him while awake. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has passed away, as Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: [Surah al-Zumar: 30]. He passed away by the consensus of the Muslims (peace and blessings be upon him). His soul is in the highest of the heavens, in Paradise, and his body is on the earth, buried in his house (peace and blessings be upon him), in the house of A'ishah. However, he is seen in sleep. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 110.
If a person sees him in his true form, as a man of medium height, among the most beautiful of Allah's creation, with flesh that is white tinged with red, and a thick beard (peace and blessings be upon him), then if he sees him in his true form (peace and blessings be upon him), he has indeed seen him (peace and blessings be upon him). But if he sees him without a beard, or with a gray, white beard, or sees him as short, or sees him as black... then he has not seen him (peace and blessings be upon him), because he said:Sahih al-Bukhari 110. Satan may take on various forms and claim to be the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in order to deceive people and trick them with the falsehood he dictates to them.
If you see in your dream someone who says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commands something that contradicts the Shari'ah, know that it is Satan. If he commands you, and you see him in the dream saying, "There is no harm in zina," or "There is no harm in undutifulness to parents," or "There is no harm in riba (usury or interest)," or in theft... or anything similar that contradicts the Shari'ah, know that it is Satan; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) does not command evil, does not command obscenity, and does not forbid what is right (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

Indeed, you are to die, and indeed, they are to die.
إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ مَيِّتُونَAnd 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 صورتيIf a person sees him in his true form, as a man of medium height, among the most beautiful of Allah's creation, with flesh that is white tinged with red, and a thick beard (peace and blessings be upon him), then if he sees him in his true form (peace and blessings be upon him), he has indeed seen him (peace and blessings be upon him).
