What is the authenticity of this Hadith?
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Whoever relates a dream which he has not really had will have to tie a knot between two grains of barley [on the Day of Qiyamah] and will not be able to do so”
Answer:
Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma). The narration is therefore authentic.
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 7042. Also see Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 2281)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
