[Machine] I have not lied since I became a Muslim, except for one lie. I was traveling with the Prophet ﷺ when a man from the people of Ta'if asked me which type of traveler is beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said the curved-backed traveler, although he disliked it. When they brought the curved-backed traveler to him, he asked, "Who sent this?". They said, "Your traveler." He then said, "Tell the son of Umm Abd to set out on a journey." So, the curved-backed traveler was returned to me.
