قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَامِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنِ الزِّبْرِقَانِ، عَنِ النَّوَّاسِ بْنِ سَمْعَانَ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« لَا يَصْلُحُ الْكَذِبُ إِلَّا فِي ثَلَاثَةٍ: يَكْذِبُ فِي الْحَرْبِ، وَالْحَرْبُ خَدْعَةٌ، وَالرَّجُلُ يَكْذِبُ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمَا، وَالرَّجُلُ يَكْذِبُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ لِيُرْضِيَهَا
