Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 19142a
"مَا لي أَرَاكُمْ تَتَهافَتُونَ في الْكَذبِ تَهافُتَ الْفَرَاشِ فِي النَّارِ، أَلا إِنَّ كُلَّ كَذِب مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَى ابن آدَمَ كَذِبًا لَا مَحَالةَ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكْذبَ الرَّجُلُ في الْحَرْب، فَإِنَّ الْحَربَ خُدْعَةٌ، أَوْ يَكْذِبَ بَينَ الرَّجُلَينِ لَيُصْلِحَ بَينَهُمَا، أَوْ يَكْذِبَ امْرَأَتَهُ لِيُرْضِيَهَا".

"What is the matter with me that I see you rushing into lying like moths rushing into the fire? Unquestionably, every lie is recorded against the son of Adam, a lie without fail, except that a man may lie in war, for war is deception; or a man may lie between two men to reconcile them; or a man may lie to his wife to please her."
