Do you wish to see the Prophet ﷺ in your dream?
What would it be like to see his smile, hear his voice, and be in his presence? The Prophet ﷺ continues to appear in the dreams of the faithful. From the woman in Gaza who foresaw tragedy, to scholars and warriors who received his reassurance, these visions have carried the ummah through generations. But you don’t need to have lived with him to connect with him.

«وَنَحَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ أَبِي جَمْرَةَ إِلَى مَا اخْتَارَهُ النَّوَوِيُّ فَقَالَ بَعْدَ أَنْ حَكَى الْخِلَافَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يُتَصَوَّرُ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ أَصْلًا فَمَنْ رَآهُ فِي صُورَةٍ حَسَنَةٍ فَذَاكَ حُسْنٌ فِي دِينِ الرَّائِي وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي جَارِحَةٍ مِنْ جَوَارِحِهِ شَيْنٌ أَوْ نَقْصٌ فَذَاكَ خَلَلٌ فِي الرَّائِي مِنْ جِهَةِ الدِّينِ قَالَ وَهَذَا هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَقَدْ جُرِّبَ ذَلِكَ فَوُجِدَ عَلَى هَذَا الْأُسْلُوبِ وَبِهِ تَحْصُلُ الْفَائِدَةُ الْكُبْرَى فِي رُؤْيَاهُ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لِلرَّائِي هَلْ عِنْدَهُ خَلَلٌ أَوْ لَا»

«سير أعلام النبلاء» (4/ 617):
«ابْنُ المُبَارَكِ: عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بنِ مُسْلِمٍ المَرْوَزِيِّ، قَالَ:
كُنْتُ أُجَالِسُ ابْنَ سِيْرِيْنَ، فَتَرَكْتُهُ، وَجَالَسْتُ الإِبَاضِيَّةَ، فَرَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي مَعَ قَوْمٍ يَحْمِلُوْنَ جِنَازَةَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
فَأَتَيْتُ ابْنَ سِيْرِيْنَ، فَذَكَرْتُهُ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: مَالَكَ جَالَسْتَ أَقْوَاماً يُرِيْدُوْنَ أَنْ يَدْفِنُوا مَا جَاءَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ (3) صلى الله عليه وسلم!»
