Q
What are the instances in which Prophet Abraham is said to have told lies, and what were the circumstances?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Abraham did not tell lies except three. (One of them was) when Abraham passed by
a tyrant and (his wife) Sara was accompanying him (Abu Huraira then mentioned the whole narration
and said:) (The tyrant) gave her Hajar. Sara said, “Allah saved me from the hands of the Kafir (i.e.
infidel) and gave me Hajar to serve me.” (Abu Huraira added:) That (Hajar) is your mother, O Banu
Ma’-As-Sama’ (i.e., the Arabs).
