Vision of the Prophet (s.a.w.) in a Waking State
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ Imam Muhammad ibn al-Haj al-‘Abdari ( r.a. ), in his Madkhal ash-Shara’ ash-Sharif ‘ala al-Madzahib , wrote, “Some have claimed that they have actually seen the Prophet ( s.a.w. ) in a waking state. However, this is a narrow happening and those who can claim this are few and require a level of purity that is rare in this age; rather, it is near extinction. We do not, however, deny it from happening to those whom God Protects in their outer and inner states.”
