seeing the prophet (pbuh) in my dream

Re: seeing the prophet (pbuh) in my dream

Peace funky_chicken

Well first off I am slightly jealous of you if you really did see him (SAW) ... May Allah (SWT) protect you and me from any evil.

Secondly, we have to be careful to say "It was the prophet (SAW)" ... It is 100% true that none can copy the form of RasoolAllah in dreams. If you see Muhammad (SAW) in a dream then you have definitely seen him.

However, how do you know it was him? One needs to know the full description of Muhammad (SAW) as he was 1400 years ago as told by the companions. If one knows what he (SAW) looked like only then can you say with confidence that it WAS him (SAW).
Otherwise there is no standard frame of reference.

A man praying in a dream is not necessarily the prophet (SAW) unless you know what he looked like you can't say for sure.

Please clarify this one point ... then we could hazard a guess at the rest of the dream.
