A False dream
One type of falsehood is that a person says:
“I dreamt such and such.” Or attributes falsely a dream to someone else when it is not so. This is also falsehood.
The Holy Prophet (S) says: “the worst types of falsehood are three:
1. To call someone as the son of someone other than his (real) father.
2. To relate a dream that one has not seen.
3. To say something which is not said by me.
One kind of falsehood is to relate folk tales, which are not based on reality but are considered true. The Holy Prophet (S) says:
“The worst of the narrations is to narrate false history.”
