3-20 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ahmad ibn al-Hussein ibn Sa’id, on the authority of Abil-Hussein ibn al-Hazrami, on the authority of Jamil ibn Dur’raj, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Sa’id, on the authority of Al-Maharebi, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad (MGB) , on the authority of his father (MGB) , on the authority of his forefathers (MGB), on the authority of Ali (MGB) that the Prophet (MGB) said, “There are three situations in which it is good to lie: when plotting in a war, when promising to your wife, and when interceding between two people to improve their relationship. There are three situations in which it is bad to tell the truth: in gossiping, in informing a man about his wife, and when denying some (bad) news.” The Prophet (MGB) added, “Associating with three groups of people will spoil the heart: associating with mean people, talking with women and associating with rich people.”
IsnādAbu a rapporté de Dieu qu'il a dit: Saad ibn Abdullah nous a informés, d'Ahmad ibn Al-Hussein ibn Saeed, d'Abu Al-Hussein ibn Al-Hadhrami, de Musa ibn Al-Qasim Al-Bajali, de Jamil ibn Duraaj, de Muhammad ibn Saeed, d'Al-Muharibi, de Ja'far ibn Muhammad, de son père, de ses ancêtres, d'Ali, que la paix soit sur eux, qui a dit: Le Prophète, que la paix et les bénédictions de Dieu soient sur lui, a dit: Trois choses dans lesquelles mentir est permis: la ruse en temps de guerre, tes promesses à ta femme, et la réconciliation entre les gens. Et trois choses dans lesquelles dire la vérité est blâmable: la calomnie, le fait de divulguer des informations sur sa famille qu'il déteste, et le fait de nier une information donnée par un homme. Et trois types de compagnie qui tuent le cœur: la compagnie des gens vils, parler aux femmes, et la compagnie des riches.
