Q: What is the degree of the authenticity of the Hadith reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) meaning: Whoever has seen me in a dream has in fact seen me, for Satan does not assume my figure and the other Hadith meaning: Whoever has seen me (in a dream), Hellfire will be prohibited for them Please inform me about both Hadiths.
A: As for the first Hadith in which the Prophet (peace be upon him) stated: Whoever has seen me in a dream has in fact seen me, this is a Sahih (authentic) Hadith that has several wordings among which is his statement (peace be upon him): Whoever has seen me in a dream has in fact seen me, for Satan does not appear in my figure The Prophet (may Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon him) also says: Whoever has seen me in a dream has seen the truth, for Satan does not appear in my figure There are also other wordings that are all reported from him (peace be upon him), indicating that Satan Allah's enemy has been prevented from appearing in the figure of the Prophet (peace be upon him), thus whoever has seen the Prophet in dream has in fact seen him (peace be upon him) if they see him in the figure known to the people of knowledge; of medium height, handsome face, rosywhite skin and a thick black beard which included several white tufts at the end of his life (peace be upon him). Therefore, whoever has seen him in his real figure, has truly seen him, for the Satan does not appear in his figure (peace be upon him).
As for the second Hadith: Whoever has seen me (in a dream), Hellfire will prohibited for them, there is no basis for this Hadith and it is not Sahih.
