It is narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed and said: O believers! What is it that constantly incites you to lie continuously, just as moths begin to fall into the fire continuously? Every lie of the son of Adam is recorded against him, except for three matters: (1) A husband who lies to his wife in order to please her, (2) A man who lies in war to deceive the enemy, and (3) A man who lies to reconcile between two Muslims.

Narrated from Sayyida Umm Kulthum bint Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He is not a liar who reconciles between people and conveys good or speaks well. Sayyida Umm Kulthum (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I did not hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) grant permission to lie in speech to people except in three matters: in war, when reconciling between people, and when a husband speaks to his wife and a wife speaks to her husband. Sayyida Umm Kulthum (may Allah be pleased with her) was among those emigrant women who pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
