Tirmidhi Book 47, Hadith 3166
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْأُمَوِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَمْ يَكْذِبْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا فِي ثَلَاثٍ قَوْلِهِ: إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ سَقِيمًا، وَقَوْلُهُ: لِسَارَّةَ أُخْتِي، وَقَوْلِهِ: بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسْتَغْرَبُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاق، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Ibrahim, peace be upon him, did not lie about anything at all - except for three: 'Verily I am sick (37:89)' while he was not sick. And his saying about Sarah: 'She is my sister' and his saying: 'Nay, this one, the biggest of them did it (21:63).'
