The question

Is the hadith about the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) seeing his Lord in the form of a beardless youth authentic or denounced, and how can one get rid of obsessive doubts related to ambiguities surrounding the Prophetic hadiths?

The answer

The aforementioned with this wording is munkar (denounced), and the correct narration is that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw his Lord in a dream in the most beautiful form. Doubts related to hadiths are resolved by one of two ways: either the hadith is not authentic in the first place, or it is authentic but has been misunderstood. The remedy for this lies in asking the well-established scholars of knowledge, as Allah the Almighty said: "So ask the people of the message if you do not know," and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Why did they not ask when they did not know? Indeed, the cure for ignorance is asking." And whoever feels weakness in understanding should suffice himself with clear matters, and not search for ambiguities, and resort to Allah, seeking steadfastness in religion.
