Umm Kulthum, daughter of Uqbah, said: I did not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ giving licence for anything people say falsely except in three matters. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say: I do not count liar a man who puts things right between people, saying a word by which he intends only putting things right, and a man who says something in war, and a man who says something to his wife says something to his husband.

Al-Ruhayyi, daughter of Muawwidh bin Afra, said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and visited me in the morning when I had been conducted to my husband, and sat on my bedding as you are sitting beside me. Some little girls of ours began to play the tambourine and eulogise those of my ancestors who were killed in the battle of Badr, and then one of them said: And among us is a Prophet who knows what will happen tomorrow. He said: Stop this and say what you were saying.

I said: No. He said: He then took his fingers out of his ears and said: I was with the Prophet ﷺ, and he heard like this and he did like this. Abu Ali al-Lu'lu said: I heard Abu Dawud say: This is a rejected tradition.

Nafi said: I was sitting behind Ibn Umar on the mount when he passed a shepherd who was blowing a pipe. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition in a similar manner. Abu Dawud said: Between Mutim and Nafi the name of a narrator Sulaiman bin Musa has been inserted.

Salam ibn Miskin, quoting an old man who witnessed Abu Wail in a wedding feast, said: They began to play, amuse and sing.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: A hermaphrodite (mukhannath) who had dyed his hands and feet with henna was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He asked: What is the matter with this man? He was told: Messenger of Allah! he affects women's get-up. So he ordered regarding him and he was banished to an-Naqi'. The people said: Messenger of Allah! should we not kill him? He said: I have been prohibited from killing people who pray. Abu Usamah said: Naqi' is a region near Madina and not a Baqi'.
