[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and addressed the people. He said, "O people, what compels you to continue in falsehood?" Zuhair said, "I think he said, 'Just as moths gather in fire, every lie is recorded against the son of Adam, except for three situations: a man who lies to his wife to make her pleased, or a man who lies between two Muslim women to reconcile between them, or a man who lies in the midst of war deception.'" And the wording is from the hadith of Ahmad ibn Yunus.

[Machine] She heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivering a sermon, saying: "O you who believe! What leads you to follow in falsehood as the moths follow the fire? Every lie is written against the son of Adam, except for three situations: a man who lies to his wife to please her, or a man who lies in war strategy, or a man who lies between two Muslim women to reconcile them."
