[Machine] A conversation took place between two companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ until they became heated. I met one of them and said to him, "What happened between you and so-and-so? I heard him praising you and making a lot of supplication for you." I then met the other person and told him something similar. I continued walking between them until they reconciled. I said, "What have I done? I ruined myself and reconciled between them." I then went to the Prophet and informed him of the matter. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, by the One who sent you with the truth, I did not hear anything from one of them or the other." He said, "O Abu Kahil, rectify the relationships between people, even if it means saying something untrue." There was a word that I did not understand, so I asked, "What does it mean?" He said, "It means lying."  

وَقَعَ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَلَامٌ حَتَّى تَضَارَبَا فَلَقِيتُ أَحَدَهُمَا فَقُلْتُ مَالَكَ وَلِفُلَانٍ قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ وَهُوَ يُحْسِنُ عَلَيْكَ الثَّنَاءَ وَيَكْثُرُ لَكَ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ وَلَقِيتُ الْآخَرَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَمْشِي بَيْنَهُمَا حَتَّى اصْطَلَحَا فَقُلْتُ مَا فَعَلْتُ أَهْلَكْتُ نَفْسِي وَأَصْلَحْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا وَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالْأَمْرِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ هَذَا شَيْئًا وَلَا مِنْ ذَا شَيْئًا فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا كَاهِلٍ أَصْلِحْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَلَوْ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا» كَلِمَةٌ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا فَقُلْتُ مَا عَنَى بِهَا؟ قَالَ عَنَى الْكَذِبَ
