“The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘A peace maker is not accused of lying’ and then he read the following verse of the Holy Quran: . O people of camel, you are thieves.’ (12:70) Then he said, ‘By Allah, they did not steal and he (Joseph) did not lie.’ Then he read the following verse: ‘. . . in fact, it is the large one among them who has done it. Ask them if they can speak.’ (22: 63) Then he said, ‘By Allah, they (people) did not do it (asked the idols) and he did not lie.’”
22ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنِ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) لا كَذَبَ عَلَى مُصْلِحٍ ثُمَّ تَلا أَيَّتُهَا الْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسارِقُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالله مَا سَرَقُوا وَمَا كَذَبَ ثُمَّ تَلا بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هذا فَسْئَلُوهُمْ إِنْ كانُوا يَنْطِقُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالله مَا فَعَلُوهُ وَمَا كَذَبَ.
