Question : Regarding the brother's statement, it is possible for a person to see in a dream that he is eating or drinking while he is fasting and find the effect of it, meaning.
Answer : This is possible; it is valid in a dream, because it has been reported. However, this is attributed to the Messenger and to others, so it is not correct to say, "I am not like him," because there are people who, according to the stories we hear—and I will tell you a story—there was a man in the town who had a poor neighbor, an old woman, and he used to give her a cup of milk every day. Then this man, who was a traveler, was cut off from his journey during one of his trips. He became extremely thirsty and slept under a tree. Then this old woman, whom he used to give milk to, came to him with the cup he used to give her milk in. He drank the milk and got up energetic, but he drank it in a dream. This can happen, yes?
