Speak truthfully except in certain situations such as reconciliation and protection during war .

This hadith explains that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ did not consider people liars if they said something false in three situations. The first situation is when someone is trying to reconcile between two people and says a word with the intention of putting things right. The second situation is when someone says something during war and the third situation is when a husband or wife says something to their spouse. This hadith teaches us that it's important for us to be honest but there are certain exceptions where it's okay for us to say something that isn't true as long as our intentions are good and we're doing it for a greater purpose such as reconciliation or protecting ourselves during war.
