حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ أَنَّ أُمَّهُ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتَ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرَاتِ الأُوَلِ اللاَّتِي بَايَعْنَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ:
«لَيْسَ الْكَذَّابُ الَّذِي يُصْلِحُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ، وَيَقُولُ خَيْرًا، وَيَنْمِي خَيْرًا.»

Notes
Ibn Shihab ˹al-Zuhri˺ said: I have not heard of permission being granted in anything that people call lying except in three cases: war, reconciliation between people, a man’s speech to his wife, and a woman’s speech to her husband.
قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ يُرَخَّصُ فِي شَىْءٍ مِمَّا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ كَذِبٌ إِلاَّ فِي ثَلاَثٍ: الْحَرْبُ، وَالإِصْلاَحُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ، وَحَدِيثُ الرَّجُلِ امْرَأَتَهُ، وَحَدِيثُ الْمَرْأَةِ زَوْجَهَا.
