Regarding Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu), it is said that he would see Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) in his dream almost every night.

Answer

Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah) has recorded a Hadith wherein Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said:

“Seldom a night passes, except that I see my beloved (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) [in a dream].” The narrator, Muthanna ibn Sa’id (rahimahullah) says, “Anas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said this and started to weep”

(Musnad Ahmad, vol. 3, pg. 216)

‘Allamah Haythami (rahimahullah) has declared the narrators reliable.

(Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 7, pg. 182)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
