حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَمْ يَنْسُبْهُ عَفَّانُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ فَإِيَّايَ رَأَى فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَتَخَيَّلُ بِي وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ مَرَّةً لَا يَتَخَيَّلُنِي
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2525
It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Jubair said: 'Abdullah - and 'Usman did not say anything more than 'Abdullah - told me: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me, for the Shaitan cannot appear in my image."
