Musnad Ahmad Hadith 3387

I saw The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in a dream at the time of Ibn 'Abbas. Yazeed used to write the Mushafs. He said: I said to Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه). I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in a dream. Ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say: “The Shaitan cannot appear in my image. Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me." Can you describe to us the man you saw? I said: Yes; I saw a man who was neither tall nor short, his skin was tanned but more whitish, he had a nice smile, his eyes were lined with kohl and his features were handsome. His beard filled from here to here, almost filling his upper chest. Awf said: I am not sure whether this description fits. Ibn 'Abbas said: If you had seen him in real life you could not have described him better than this.
