Umm Kulthum, daughter of Uqbah, said: I did not hear the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم giving licence for anything people say falsely except in three matters. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم would say: I do not count liar a man who puts things right between people, saying a word by which he intends only putting things right, and a man who says something in war, and a man who says something to his wife says something to his husband.
