Are muslims suppose to believe in chain letters?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

I received a chain letter saying that the watchman (Sheik Ahmed) of the Prophet Mohammeds Mosque (PBUH) had a dream about the Prophet in his dream (PBUH). Sheik Ahmed has distributed the description of the letter to other muslims and it says in there that if u do not send it to 20 more Muslim or one will die within 9 days.

Answer

WARNING – BEWARE
Various letters and pamphlets have surfaced all over the country bearing the
name of one ‘Sheikh Ahmadu’. Some have the following titles:

‘Dream in Madinah’, ‘Letter from Makkah’, ‘Get luck in Seven days’, ‘Rewards
of photocopying this letter’, ‘Sheikh Ahmadu’.

Our investigations have confirmed that there is no such person as Sheikh
Ahmadu. We have also ascertained that these letters originate from certain
Christian organisations. The purpose of these letters is to confuse and
misdirect Muslims and engage them in activities that would waste both their
time and money.

MUSLIMS ARE URGED THAT SHOULD THEY ENCOUNTER THESE PAMPHLETS/LETTER THEY
SHOULD IMMEDIATELY DISREGARD AND DESTROY THEM.
