حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ , قَالَ : أَبُو عَوَانَةَ حَدَّثَنَا , عَنْ جَابِرٍ , عَنْ عَمَّارٍ هُوَ الدُّهْنِيُّ , عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ , عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ , فَقَدْ رَآنِي , فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَتَمَثَّلُ بِي " .

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
Some dreams are from Allah the Exalted, as will be mentioned in the next chapter.
These dreams are true.
Seeing the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in a dream is also included in this category.
➋
The noble appearance (hilya mubarak) of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is mentioned in the books of hadith.
If the vision of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in a dream matches this appearance, then the dream is true and does not require interpretation.
If the noble appearance seems different in the dream, then it will be interpreted.
And this indicates a deficiency and shortcoming in the religion and character of the one who saw the dream. (Fath al-Bari: 13/484)
➌
Legal rulings (shar‘i masā’il) are not established from dreams; for them, evidence from the Qur’an and hadith is necessary.
➍
Some people falsely claim to have seen the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in a dream, even though they have had no such dream.
This is a very great sin and an extremely serious crime. (See: Hadith: 3916)
