Sunan Abi Dawud 5024 (Book 43, Hadith 252) #25315
The Consequences of False Representations and Listening in on Conversations

SUMMARY: Allah will punish those who make false representations or pretend to have had a dream which they did not see, and those who listen to other people's conversations when they try to avoid them.

Ibn 'Abbas reported the Prophet as saying : If anyone makes a representation of anything, Allah will punish him on the Day of Resurrection for it until he breathes into it, but he will be unable to do so. If anyone pretends to have had a dream which he did not see, he will be ordered to tie a knot in a grain of barley. If anyone listens to other people’s talk when they try to avoid him, lead will be poured into his ears on the Day of Resurrection.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ صَوَّرَ صُورَةً عَذَّبَهُ اللَّهُ بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يَنْفُخَ فِيهَا وَلَيْسَ بِنَافِخٍ وَمَنْ تَحَلَّمَ كُلِّفَ أَنْ يَعْقِدَ شَعِيرَةً وَمَنِ اسْتَمَعَ إِلَى حَدِيثِ قَوْمٍ يَفِرُّونَ بِهِ مِنْهُ صُبَّ فِي أُذُنِهِ الآنُكُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the consequences of making false representations or pretending to have seen a dream that one has not actually seen, as well as listening in on conversations when people are trying to avoid being heard. Allah will punish those who do these things on the Day of Resurrection. For example, if someone pretends that they saw a dream, then Allah will order them to tie knots in grains of barley until they can no longer do so. Similarly, if someone listens in on conversations when people are trying to avoid being heard, then lead will be poured into their ears on the Day of Resurrection. This hadith teaches us that we should be honest and truthful with our words and actions at all times because there are serious consequences for lying or eavesdropping. We should also respect other people's privacy by not listening in on their conversations without permission.
