قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَا كَذَبَ عَلَى مُصْلِحٍ ثُمَّ تَلَا أَيَّتُهَا الْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسارِقُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا سَرَقُوا وَ مَا كَذَبَ ثُمَّ تَلَا بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هذا فَسْئَلُوهُمْ إِنْ كانُوا يَنْطِقُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا فَعَلُوهُ وَ مَا كَذَبَ .

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Al Hajjal, from Sa’alba, from Ma’mar Bin Amro, from Ata’a, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘There is no lie upon the reconciler’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> recited <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:12#h70"><a href="/books/quran:12#h70">[12:70]</a></a> O caravan! You are stealing</span>, then said: ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! They were not stealing, and he<sup>as</sup> did not lie’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> recited <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:21#h63"><a href="/books/quran:21#h63">[21:63]</a></a> But (has) the chief of them has done this, therefore ask them, if they can speak</span>. Then said: ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! They had not done it and he<sup>as</sup> did not lie’.
