PRETENDING TO HAVE SOMETHING YOU DO NOT

1589

“A woman asked the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, I have a co-wife. Would it be sinful if I were to pretend my husband had given me something that he had not given me?’ He answered, ‘Whoever pretends to have received something that was not given him is like the one who wears two cloaks of falsehood.’"

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Asma' who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
