Imam adh-Dhahabi writes that the famous Taab'ee, Simaq ibn Harb, said: "My sight was gone and I was completely blind. I prayed a lot and one night when I was sleeping, I saw Ibrahim (peace be upon him) in my dream. I said to Ibrahim, 'My sight is gone and what should I do?'Ibrahim said, 'Go to the River Forat and wash your face in it and your sight should return'. When I washed my face in the river, my sight returned and I saw 80 Companions of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) with that sight" [Mizan al Ta'dil, 'Biography of Simaq adh-Dhahabi']

Is there any harm of narrating this narration?

Is this narration famous or not? I had heard it long time ago, and now I've read it, so to me, it does sound that it's famous but I don't know... Is this narration based upon reality?

Wassalam.
