عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُمَا، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «مَنْ تَحَلَّمَ بِحُلْمٍ لَمْ يَرَهُ كُلِّفَ أَنْ يَعْقِدَ بَيْنَ شَعِيرَتَيْنِ وَلَنْ يَفْعَلَ، وَمَنِ اسْتَمَعَ إِلَى حَدِيثِ قَوْمٍ وَهُمْ لَهُ كَارِهُونَ صُبَّ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ الْآنُكُ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ، وَمَنْ صَوَّرَ صُورَةً عُذِّبَ، وَكُلِّفَ أَنْ يَنْفُخَ فِيهَا الرُّوحَ وَلَيْسَ بِنَافِخٍ» رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ.
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Whoever claims to have had a dream that he did not see will be charged to tie together two barley grains, and he will never do it. Whoever listens to the conversation of a people while they dislike [him hearing] it will have molten lead poured into his ears on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever makes an image will be punished and charged to breathe a soul into it, and he will not be able to do so." Reported by al-Bukhari.
الشرح · explanation
تَحَلَّمَ: أَيْ قَالَ إِنَّهُ حَلَمَ فِي نَوْمِهِ وَرَأى كَذَا وَكَذَا وَهُوَ كَاذِبٌ. أن يعقد بين شعيرتين ولن يفعل: وذلك ليطول عذابه في النار، لأنّ عقده بين طرفي الشعيرة غير ممكن. الْآنُكُ: الرَّصَاصُ الْمُذَابُ.
"claims to have had a dream": that is, he says that he dreamed in his sleep and saw such-and-such, while he is lying. "to tie together two barley grains, and he will never do it": that is so his punishment in the Fire may be prolonged, since tying a knot between the two ends of a barley grain is impossible. "al-anuk": molten lead.

الوعيد الشديد لمن يكذب في المنام، لأنّ ذلك كذب على اللّه تعالى وعلى الناس. الترهيب من التجسس واستراق السمع، لمعرفة ما يتحدث به الناس. الوعيد الشديد للمصورين، لأنّهم ينازعون الخالق في قدرته.
A severe threat against one who lies about dreams, because that is a lie against Allah the Exalted and against people. A warning against spying and eavesdropping to learn what people are saying. A severe threat against image-makers, because they contend with the Creator in His power to create.
