What is the interpretation of the Prophet (PBUH) seeing Allah, the Almighty, in the form of a beardless youth, keeping in mind that the visions of prophets are revelation, and does this apply to all their visions?
It was previously explained that the hadith about the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, seeing his Lord in the form of a beardless young man is weak, and that the dreams of prophets are a revelation. The Quran attests to this in the story of Abraham, peace be upon him, with his son. It is advised to stay away from reading the books of the People of the Book and from doubts, and not to be deluded by one's own intelligence, as doubts might become ingrained in the heart. The Shari'ah has indicated the importance of staying away from sources of doubt, as in the hadith about the Dajjal: "Whoever hears of the Dajjal, let him keep away from him." Ibn al-Qayyim said: "Nothing aids in escaping evil like staying away from its causes and its manifestations."
