Umm Kulthum, daughter of Uqbah, said: I did not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ giving licence for anything people say falsely except in three matters. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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.
