One reported seeing him, yes, along with Jesus, Noah, Buddha, Mary I spoke incorrectly there. There was also a woman who reportedly saw the writing "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger" during hers, but it seems many Christians will report seeing Jesus, and almost no Muslims see Muhammad. I don't fully know why that is. Christian NDEs seem to be mucb deeper than the NDEs of other faiths with Jesus telling them who he is, speaking telepathically with them, etc. There are a lot on the nderf.org site. I can't put my finger on that. If NDEs are hallucinations like all you of are saying, it could be because of conditioning culturally. However, I don't fully get it. Whenever I ask Muslims they say "but NDEs are fake" or "Satan is trying to trick you away from Islam" but they never can give an answer to why that is. Maybe it's because they don't worship Muhammad like Christians worship Jesus, i have no idea. That is why I cannot fully reject Christianity. All other cultural NDEs seem,way more sketchy and less detailed
Consider that Christianity happens to be the main religion of the Western world, where perhaps most of these NDEs are situated in. And consider that individualism perhaps might lead to more vividness and less sketchiness than in countries that are more collectivist.
I also remember posting a potential explanation as to why Muslims don't report NDEs involving Muhammad in one of your other threads. Do you remember that one?
Ultimately, however, it would do you well to approach this all in a proper Bayesian manner. Check this very informative video series on Bayes' theorem:
