RECONCILIATION

250

“Whosoever brings about the reconciliation between people and attains good or says that which is good is not a liar.

I (Umm Kulthum, daughter of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her), did not hear him approve of what most people say (when they lie) except in three situations: war, reforming between people, and talk between a husband and wife.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Umm Kulthum, daughter of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her, related that she heard the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, say this.
