bayhaqi:20834Abū al-Ḥasan Muḥammad b. al-Ḥusayn al-ʿAlawī Imlāʾ > Abū Ḥāmid b. al-Sharqī > Muḥammad b. ʿAqīl And ʾAḥmad b. Ḥafṣ > Ḥafṣ b. ʿAbdullāh > Ibrāhīm b. Ṭahmān > Mūsá b. ʿUqbah > Abū al-Zinād > al-Aʿraj > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, Ibrahim, the Friend of the Most Merciful, never told a lie except for three lies: his saying about their gods, 'Nay, this was done by their great one' [Surah Al-Anbiya, 63], his saying when he invited their gods to argue with him, 'Verily, I am sick' [Surah As-Saffat, 89], and his saying to his wife Sarah, 'This is a young man who has narrated to us a Hadith that we should accept from him.' They (the scholars) agree that this refers to the Hadith of Ibn Sirin from Abu Hurairah" (Surah Al-Anbiya, 63). This refers to the expression of exaggeration and clarification about their idols having no effect, his saying, 'Verily, I am sick' [Surah As-Saffat, 89], indicating that he will fall ill, and his saying to Sarah, 'My sister,' meaning the bond of Islam. And Allah knows best.
