Hadith 56
The Seeing Of Rasoolullah In a Dream
'Asim ibn Kulaib’s father heard Abu Huraira say:
“Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: ‘If someone sees me in his sleep, he has indeed seen me, for Satan cannot imitate me!’ The father then related this to Ibn Abbas, saying that he had seen the Prophet. He also mentioned al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali, noting that he resembled the Prophet. To this Ibn 'Abbas replied, ‘Yes, he resembled him.’”
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ هُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: مَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ فَقَدْ رَآنِي، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لا يَتَمَثَّلُنِي، قَالَ أَبِي: فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ، فَذَكَرْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ، فَقُلْتُ: شَبَّهْتُهُ بِهِ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُشْبِهُهُ.
