malik:56-15Mālik > Ṣafwān b. Sulaym > a man

Malik related to me from Safwan ibn Sulaym that a man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ "Can I lie to my wife, Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 ﷺ said, "It will not be held against you."  

مالك:٥٦-١٥حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ أَنَّ رَجُلاً

قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَكْذِبُ امْرَأَتِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ خَيْرَ فِي الْكَذِبِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعِدُهَا وَأَقُولُ لَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَ
