حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْهَادِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ أُمِّهِ أُمِّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتِ عُقْبَةَ قَالَتْ مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَخَّصَ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ الْكَذِبِ إِلَّا فِي ثَلَاثٍ الرَّجُلِ يَقُولُ الْقَوْلَ يُرِيدُ بِهِ الْإِصْلَاحَ وَالرَّجُلِ يَقُولُ الْقَوْلَ فِي الْحَرْبِ وَالرَّجُلِ يُحَدِّثُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَالْمَرْأَةِ تُحَدِّثُ زَوْجَهَا.
