[Machine] I have never seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ give permission to lie except in three cases. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not consider it lying when a person reconciled between people and exaggerated in his words to achieve reconciliation, a person spoke about war, and a woman narrated to her husband, and a woman narrated to her husband.

I did not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ making a concession for anything people say falsely except in three matters. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say: I do not count as a liar a man who puts things right between people, saying a word by which he intends only putting things right, and a man who says something in war, and a man who says something to his wife, or a wife who says something to her husband.
