If a Muslim sees the Prophet (peace be upon him) in a dream with his true descriptions, then he has truly seen him, for Satan cannot take his form. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me, for Satan cannot take my form." So, if you see him with his known features and descriptions, then rejoice in goodness, unless you see something that contradicts his descriptions. We advise you to fear Allah and to diligently follow the of His Prophet (peace be upon him).
