Appearance of the Prophet (S.A.W) in dream.
In order to prove the view of revival of Prophet's life in this world and ascribe in him the Divine attributes of "Knowing Unseen " and "disposing of events" it is said that the Prophet (S.A.W.) appeared to such and such person in dream and informed him such and such things. This view is supported by the wrong interpretation of the traditions of "Al-BUKHARI " and " AL-MUSLIM". For instance, Imam Bukhari has given the heading, "About one who saw the Prophet (S.A.W.) in dream" and then he has brought the following traditions:-
Abu Hurairah (R.A) says that he heard the Prophet (S.A.W.) saying, "One who saw me in dream will shortly see me while he is awake and the Satan cannot adopt my form. ë Bukhari says Ibn-i-Seereen has pointed out that it implies one who has seen the Prophet (S.A.W.) in his life time.
In the above HADITH the words "one who saw me" clearly indicate that it means those people who saw the Prophet (S.A.W.) during his life time and not those who know about the Prophet's personality from the books of HADITH only. The second point that Satan cannot adopt Prophet's form does not rule out the possibility that he (the Satan) cannot deceive in dream those who have not seen the Prophet (S.A.W.) in his life time. He may appear in dream in any other form and still impress upon them that he is their Prophet (S.A.W.) Now, to avoid this reasonable argument another way out has been discovered. It is said that if the person coming in dream tells something according to Quran and HADITH then he must be the Prophet (S.A.W) as the Satan cannot tell a right thing. This argument is also not correct. According to a HADITH in Al-Bukhari, the Satan told to Abu Hurairah (R.A.) the excellence of the Quran Verse "ayat-al-kursi" and the Prophet (S.A.W.) confirmed his statement in these words; (Surely he told you the right thing although he is a big lire). This shows that Satan can tell a right thing also. (or mix truth with falsehood).
As a matter of fact this dream affair has become a sort of business. Most of the "Professionals" invent dream stories to impress upon the people for their piety and seem to be careless about Prophet's threat for inventors of false dreams. There are others who use this technique to snatch money out of people of weak faith by telling them that the Prophet (S.A.W.) visited them in dream and told them to go to such true lover of the Propjet (S.A.W.) and he will serve (your) need. Similarly it is sometimes announced that "such and such person is the most learned scholar of the time and biggest WALI (Favorite of Allah). They forget that believing in these dream stories implies ascribing to the Prophet (S.A.W.) the Divine Attributes of "Eternal Life" and "Supernatural disposing of events" which is evidently SHIRK as it amounts to the faith that the Prophet (S.A.W.) is alive in this world and is not only aware of the affairs of the "Ummat" but also informs people about these affairs. All this is evidently against Quran and clear SHIRK in the Divine Attributes of "Knowledge of Unseen" and "Supernatural Disposing of events". In the same way, the alleged appearance of Abraham (a.s.) to some one in dream to order him to address a congregation and then Abraham's admiration of the speech and subsequent use of this dream to establish the excellence and piety of the person who dreams this also belongs to the same class............ (May Allah protect us)
Thus, the belief that the Prophet (S.A.W.) is alive after death , and is aware of the affairs of "Ummat" and keeps informing some people about the affairs is entirely against Qur'an and clear SHIRK in the Divine Attributes of "Eternal Life" "Knowledge of the Unseen" and "Control and Disposing of events. "
The story of Sultan Nooruddin Zangi and the "Lead Walls" is also of the same class, and is totally false and baseless. As regards (MUBASHIRAT) (Good news in dreams), they can be considered genuine only when they eventually come true, other wise they are confused dreams. If on the basis of dreams some one announces that such thing is going to happen, then it is either a divine or a prophetic claim.
