In kitab al sunnah by Ibn abi Asim, Page 202-203 we read:

Abu Bakr narrated to us; ʿAbdah ibn Sulaymān and Abū Usāmah narrated to us, from Misʿar, from ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Maysarah, from Muṣʿab ibn Saʿd, from Muʿādh, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Whatever he sees in his sleep and in his wakefulness is true.”
Its chain of transmission (isnād) is authentic according to the conditions of the two Shaykhs (al-Bukhārī and Muslim), and it is mawqūf (stopped at the Companion).

Qāḍī Abū Yaʿlā in Ibtāl al-Taʾwīlāt li-Akhbār al-Ṣifāt page 143 says:

“He said: Al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī ibn Salamah al-Hamadhānī and Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Mahdī and others narrated to us; they said: Aḥmad ibn Jaʿfar ibn Mālik narrated to us. And Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Isḥāq narrated to us — and the wording is his — he said: Sulaymān ibn Aḥmad ibn Ayyūb narrated to us; he said: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal narrated to us; he said: My father narrated to me; he said: al-Aswad ibn ʿĀmir narrated to us; he said: Ḥammād ibn Salamah narrated to us from Qatādah, from ʿIkrimah, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
‘I saw my Lord in the form of a young, beardless man, with thick curly hair, in a green meadow.’”

And then in page 144 he says:
“And I, Muḥammad ibn ʿUbayd Allāh al-Anṣārī, said: I heard Abū al-Ḥasan ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Maʿdān say: I heard Sulaymān ibn Aḥmad say: I heard Ibn Ṣadaqah al-Ḥāfiẓ say:
‘Whoever does not believe in the ḥadīth of ʿIkrimah is a heretic (zindīq).’”

Shaykh Ibn Jibrīn in the sharh of usul al sunnah of Ahmad ibn Hanbal, page 61 says:

“It was reported by al-Tirmidhī (no. 3279) from al-Ḥakam ibn Abān, from ʿIkrimah, from Ibn ʿAbbās who said: ‘Muḥammad saw his Lord.’ I said: ‘Does not Allah say: {Vision cannot grasp Him, but He grasps all vision} (6:103)?’ He replied: ‘Woe to you! That is when He manifests through His light — which is His light.’ And he said: ‘He saw Him twice.’
Al-Tirmidhī said: This is a ḥasan gharīb ḥadīth from this route.
It was also narrated by Aḥmad in his Musnad (1/285) from Qatādah, from ʿIkrimah, from Ibn ʿAbbās who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘I saw my Lord, Blessed and Exalted.’
Aḥmad Shākir said: Its chain is ṣaḥīḥ. It is also in Majmaʿ al-Zawāʾid (1/78), where it states: It was narrated by Aḥmad and its narrators are the narrators of the Ṣaḥīḥ.”

In Bayān Talbīs al-Jahmiyyah, Vol 7, Page 290, Ibn Taymiyyah states that the Prophet ﷺ saw his Lord, and he describes it as a vision with the eyes (ru’yat ʿayn). He then cites the report, calling it a ṣaḥīḥ marfūʿ ḥadīth, narrated from Qatādah, from ʿIkrimah, from Ibn ʿAbbās, in which it is stated:

“I saw my Lord in the form of a young, beardless man with curly hair in a green meadow.”
