What is the authenticity of the report mentioned concerning Imam Ahmad's vision of his Lord, and is it permissible to see Allah Almighty despite the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, "Light, how could I see Him?"

Imam Ahmad's vision of his Lord in a dream was mentioned by some scholars, and no one critiqued or endorsed it. When Ibn Baz was asked about it, he said, "I do not know its authenticity." Shaykh Nasir Al-Aql was asked and replied, "Seeing Allah in a dream is not a true vision; rather, it is a jumble of dreams, or parables may be struck for it, or it could be a form of temptation where Satan might appear to a person as if he were Allah." Therefore, what was reported about Imam Ahmad's vision of his Lord is interpreted as a dream vision and not a real one.
