كتاب الكلام
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَكْذِبُ امْرَأَتِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ خَيْرَ فِي الْكَذِبِ " . فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعِدُهَا وَأَقُولُ لَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَ " .
Malik related to me from Safwan ibn Sulaym that a man asked the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "Can I
lie to my wife, Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "There is no good in lying." The
man said, "Messenger of Allah! Shall I make her a promise and tell
her?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "It will not be held against you."
