حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهِ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ فَقَدْ رَآنِي فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَتَمَثَّلُ بِي قَالَ عَاصِمٌ قَالَ أَبِي فَحَدَّثَنِيهِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ قَالَ رَأَيْتَهُ قُلْتُ إِي وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ قَدْ ذَكَرْتُهُ وَنَعَتُّهُ فِي مِشْيَتِهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُشْبِهُهُ.
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me, for the Shaytan cannot take my form." Asim said: My father said: Ibn Abbas narrated it to me, and I told him that I had seen him (the Prophet). He said: "Did you see him?" I said: "Yes, by Allah, I saw him." He said: I mentioned al-Hasan ibn Ali. He said: "By Allah, I described him and his manner of walking." Ibn Abbas said: "He used to resemble him."
