Implication of false claim concerning
dreams
Then there was the grave warning from the Prophet sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam
concerning false claims of true and good dreams, such as a claim of a dream in
which one saw the Prophet sallalahu
‘alaihi wa sallam,
or to falsify a dream which came from the nafs and thus to mislead
concerning the inner message conveyed by the dream:
Ibn Umar reported that the Prophet said: “The worst lie is that
a person claims to have seen a dream which he has not seen.”
(Bukhari)
Ibn Abbas reported that the Prophet said: “Whoever claims to
have seen a dream which he did not see, will be ordered to make a knot between
two barley grains which he will not be able to do; and if someone listens to
the talk of some people who do not like him (to listen) or they run away from
him, then molten lead will be poured into his ears on the Day of Resurrection;
and whoever makes a picture, will be punished on the Day of Resurrection and
will be ordered to put a soul in that picture, which he will not be able to
do.”
(Bukhari)
Let us now take a brief look at some of the dreams of the
Prophet sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam and of his Companions.
Regretfully we cannot, at this time, undertake an analysis of these
dreams. We hope to do so, Insha Allah,
in a subsequent edition of this book.
