How sound is the hadith "Whoever sees me in a dream will not enter the Fire" and "He will not enter the Fire who sees me in a dream," mentioned in the book Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, attributed to Ibn Sirin, considering their mentioned chains of transmission (isnad)?

This confirms the weakness of the hadith and the certainty of textual corruption in the names of its narrators. The hadith is known through the narration of Sa'id ibn Maysarah al-Bakri, whose status is obscure. Most of what he narrates from Anas are unique hadiths that no one else narrates. Al-Bukhari said about him: "He has Munkar (denounced) narrations" and "Munkar al-Hadith" (denounced in hadith). Ibn Hibban said: "He narrates fabricated narrations." Al-Hakim said: "He narrated fabricated narrations from Anas, and Yahya al-Qattan accused him of lying."
