Assalamu Alaikum.
I was recently reading a description of the physical characteristics of the Holy Prophet . I formed a picture in my mind. Then I saw in a dream, a man who looked like the
picture formed in my mind. I do not clearly remember what he said, but I am afraid he
might have said that some Muslim brothers who I love very much will see a dream with me in
it. I committed a sin in their house before, and before this dream, I was always worrying
that they might find out through a dream. How do I know for sure if I saw the Holy Prophet
in this dream. This is worrying me very much. Also, I just saw a dream, where I
thought it was the Holy Prophet again, during his last recitation of the Quran to
Jibreel (AS) during Ramadan. Zaid (RA) was there, too, but also Hamzah (RA) was there in
my dream. I know that Hamzah(RA) wasn't really there, because he was martyred at Uhud. So
was this the Holy Prophet in this dream? How can we know for sure? Please answer as
quickly as possibly. I Email is quicker, please do that. If posting it is quicker
Praise be to Allaah.
We will quote below a number of ahaadeeth which
describe the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). If what you
in
your dream is in accordance with this, then you did indeed see the Prophet
(peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him), because he said: "Whoever sees me in a dream has
really seen me, because Shaytaan cannot appear in my image." (Reported by
al-Bukhaari, 5729).
Rabee'ah ibn Abi 'Abd al-Rahmaan said: "I heard Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be
pleased with him) describing the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
He said: 'He was of average height, not too tall and not too short, with a pinkish colour,
not very white and not dark, and his hair was neither very curly nor very straight. The
Revelation came to him when he was forty years old, and he stayed in Makkah for ten years
after the Revelation came, then in Madeenah for ten years. When he died, there were no
more than twenty white hairs on his head and in his beard." (al-Bukhaari, 3283).
Al-Baraa' ibn 'Aazib said: "The Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) was broad shouldered and had thick hair coming down to his shoulders
and earlobes. He was wearing red garments. I have never seen anything more beautiful than
him." (Reported by Muslim, Kitaab al-Fadaa'il, Baab Sifat Sha'r al-Nabi
(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him), no. 2338).
'Ali said: "He was neither tall nor short, and had large hands and feet. He had a
large head and was big-boned, and the thin line of hair (starting from his chest and
extending to the navel) was long. When he walked, he would lean forward, as if he was
walking downhill. I have never seen anyone like him, before or since." (Reported by
al-Tirmidhi, 3570, who said this is a saheeh hasan hadeeth).
Jaabir ibn Samurah said: "The Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) was dalee' al-fam, ashkal al-'ayn and manhoos al-'aqib." Shu'bah said:
"I asked Maalik, 'What is dalee' al-fam?' He said: 'Wide-mouthed.' I asked, 'What is
ashkal al-'ayn?' He said, 'Big-eyed.' I asked, 'What is manhoos al-'aqib?' He said, 'His
heels were not fleshy.'" (Saheeh Muslim, Kitaab al-Fadaa'il, 2339).
As for the sin which you committed in the house of your brothers, repent to Allaah for
this. If you took something that belongs to them, then give it back. And Allaah is
All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
