What is the degree of authenticity of the two hadiths: "Whoever sees me in a dream will not enter the Fire" and "He who sees me in a dream will not enter the Fire"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The two hadiths, "He who sees me in a dream shall not enter the Fire" and "He who sees me in a dream, verily he shall not enter the Fire," were transmitted by Al-Daylami and Ibn Asakir from Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Attar and Sa'id ibn Maysarah — both of whom are weak narrators — from Anas. Furthermore, Abu Sulaiman ibn Muhammad al-Khuza'i is unknown, and Muhammad ibn al-Musaffa is a mudallis (one who conceals defects in narration) who narrated with 'an'ana (using the phrase "from" rather than explicitly stating he heard it). Therefore, it appears that these two hadiths are not authentic.
