Musnad Ahmad 699 (Book 5, Hadith 132) #34358
The Consequences of False Dreams

SUMMARY: Lying about seeing the Prophet ﷺ in a dream will be punished on the Day of Resurrection.

It was narrated from 'Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) - Sufyan said. I think he attributed it to the Prophet He said: 'Whoever tells a lie about seeing me in his dream will be ordered on the Day of resurrection to tie a grain of barley". Abu Ahmad said: I think it is from the Prophet .
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، وَأَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا قَدْ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ مَنْ كَذَبَ فِي حُلْمِهِ كُلِّفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَقْدَ شَعِيرَةٍ قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ قَالَ أُرَاهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith warns us against lying about having seen the Prophet Muhammad in our dreams. It tells us that if we do lie about this, we will be punished on the Day of Resurrection by being ordered to tie a grain of barley. This punishment may seem small and insignificant but it is actually very severe because tying a single grain would take an eternity due to its miniscule size and weight. Therefore, this hadith teaches us that even small lies can have serious consequences and should be avoided at all costs. We should also remember that lying is one of the major sins in Islam and should not be taken lightly as it can lead to dire consequences both in this life and hereafter.
