وعن أم كلثوم بنت عقبة بن أبي معيط رضي الله عنها قالت: سمعت
رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «ليس الكذاب الذي يصلح بين الناس فينمي خيرًا، أو يقول خيرًا»
Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘The person who (lies) in order to conciliate between people is not a liar, when he conveys good or says (something) good’. The narration in Muslim added: She said, “I never heard him (she meant the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) giving permission of lying in anything except in three (things): war, conciliating between people and the conversation of man with his wife and the conversation of a woman with her husband”.
