Abu Huraira reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying Abraham ﷺ never told a lie except on three occasions twice for the sake of Allaah. Allaah quoted his words in the Quran I am indeed sick and Nay; this was done by - this is their biggest one. Once he was passing through the land of a tyrant king. He stayed there in a place. People went to the tyrant and informed him saying A man has come down here; he has a most beautiful woman with him. So he sent for him Abraham and asked about her. He said she is my sister. When he returned to her; he said he asked me about you and I informed him that you were my sister. Today there is no believer except me and you. You are my sister in the Book of Allaah i.e.; sister in faith. So do not belie me before him. The narrator then narrated the rest of the tradition.Abu Dawud said A similar tradition has also been narrated by Shuaib Bin Abi Hamza from Abi AlZinad from AlAraj on the authority of Abu Huraira from the Prophet ﷺ.
