حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْعَتَكِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، وَهِشَامٌ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ ، فَقَدْ رَآنِي ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَتَمَثَّلُ بِي " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who saw me in a dream in fact saw me, for the satan does not appear in my form.

وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ ، قَالَا : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ فَسَيَرَانِي فِي الْيَقَظَةِ ، أَوْ لَكَأَنَّمَا رَآنِي فِي الْيَقَظَةِ ، لَا يَتَمَثَّلُ الشَّيْطَانُ بِي " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who saw me in a dream would soon see me in the state of wakefulness, or as if he saw me in a state of wakefulness, for the satan does not appear in my form.

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Dawood Raz
Hadith Commentary:
So it will be the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) himself.
Source: Sahih Bukhari: Commentary by Maulana Dawood Raz, Page: 6993
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
This is a unique characteristic of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam):
That Satan cannot assume your form.
However, it is possible that he may appear in another form and create the illusion that this is the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
Therefore, it is necessary that a person compares the form he saw with those characteristics
which are mentioned in the books of hadith.
Or he should seek confirmation from a person of knowledge.
The late father, Sheikh Abdul Aziz Saeedi rahimahullah, was once told by an innovator, with great enthusiasm and passion, that he had seen the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in a dream.
When my father asked for details, he replied that he had seen a luminous personality with a white, radiant beard.
My father immediately
recited "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah" and clarified that you have seen a devil.
In short, the one who sees the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in a dream will see him while awake on the Day of Resurrection and will attain a special closeness.
Otherwise, other believers will also see you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
