Lying about Dreams

Some people deliberatly fabricate dreams and visions that they have not really seen , either as a means of gaining spiritual prestige and fame , for some material gains , to scare their enemies , and the like. Many of common people have a strong beliefs in dreams and are easily deceived by such lies
.

The Prophet issued a stern warning to whoever does such a thing : " One of the worst types of lie is for a man to claim to belong to someone other than his real father, or to claim to have seen something which he did not see, or to attribute to Messenger of Allah words that he did not
say
. "
Reported by al-Bukhaari , see al-Fat`h , 6/540

The Prophet also said : " Whoever claims to have seen a dream which he did not see will be ordered to tie two ears of wheat together , and he will never be able to do it
. "
Reported by al-Bukhaari ; see al-Fat`h , 12/427 . This is a ****phor which means that he will be continually punished / for a period of time
.

Tying two grains together is impossible , so the punishment will fit the crime
