It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Kulthum (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That person is not a liar who says something to reconcile between people and attributes something good or says a good word." And I have never given permission to lie except in three situations: in war, to reconcile between people, and for a husband and wife to please each other." It should be noted that Hazrat Umm Kulthum bint Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with her) was among those migrant women who pledged allegiance to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
