Riyad as-Salihin 1544 (Book 17, Hadith 34) #38033
The Consequences of Unlawful Actions

SUMMARY: This hadith warns against narrating false dreams, eavesdropping on conversations, and creating images of living creatures.

Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Prophet said, "He who narrates a dream which he has not seen will be put to trouble to join into a knot two barley seeds which he will not be able to do; and he who seeks to listen to the talk of a people (secretly) will have molten lead poured into his ears on the Day of Resurrection; and he who makes a picture (of people or other creatures with a soul, such as animals and insects) will be (severely punished), and he will be asked to infuse spirit therein, which he will not be able to do". Al-Bukhari.
وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما عن النبي ، قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏ من تحلم بحلم لم يره، كُلف أن يعقد بين شعيرتين ولن يفعل، ومن استمع إلى حديث قوم وهم له كارهون، صب في أذنيه الآنُك يوم القيامة، ومن صور صورة، عذب وكلف أن ينفخ فيها الروح وليس بنافخ‏"‏‏.‏رواه البخاري . تحلم أي: قال أنه حلم في نومه ورأى كذا وكذا، وهو كاذب و الآنك بالمد وضم النون وتخفيف الكاف: وهو الرصاص المذاب

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned against three unlawful actions - narrating false dreams, eavesdropping on conversations, and creating images of living creatures. He said that those who do these things will face severe punishment in the afterlife. For example, someone who tells a lie about a dream they have not seen will be asked to join two barley seeds together which they will not be able to do. Similarly, someone who listens to other people's conversations without their permission will have molten lead poured into their ears on the Day of Resurrection. Lastly, anyone who creates an image of a living creature such as an animal or insect will also face punishment and be asked to infuse spirit into it which they cannot do. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive for truthfulness in our words and deeds and respect other people's privacy by not listening in on their conversations without permission.
