Since the Prophet (PBUH) said, "Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me," why don’t we accept Ibn Arabi’s claim (“I saw the Messenger of Allah and he said to me: This is the book Fusus al-Hikam, take it.”) and consider what’s in it as being from our Prophet?
Answer
In the name of Allah, the Exalted. Know, my son, that if a person met the Noble Prophet (PBUH) during his earthly life, knew his blessed appearance, and retained the image of his face in his mind, then, if he sees that exact image in a dream, he can be certain that he truly saw the Prophet (PBUH), since Satan cannot take on his form or image. However, someone who never saw the Prophet (PBUH), and only heard or read some descriptions of his features, does not actually know his appearance with precision and cannot distinguish between him and those who resemble him. So how can such a person be sure that what he saw in a dream was the Prophet (PBUH)? As for Ibn Arabi and those like him, they use dreams as a means to mislead people. We ask Allah to protect Muslims from their evil and their delusions. Allah is the Guide.
