عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ ((يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَا يَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ تَتَابَعُوا فِي الْكَذِبِ كَمَا يَتَتَابَعُ الْفَرَاشُ فِي النَّارِ كُلُّ الْكَذِبِ يُكْتَبُ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ رَجُلٌ كَذَبَ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ لِيُرْضِيَهَا أَوْ رَجُلٌ كَذَبَ فِي خَدِيعَةِ حَرْبٍ أَوْ رَجُلٌ كَذَبَ بَيْنَ امْرَأَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمَا))
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.
