Abstract:
The narration 'Abraham (peace be upon him) never lied except three times...' is a famous narration that has been transmitted from Abu Hurairah from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) in many Sunni Hadith and exegesis collections, the literal meaning of which indicates that Prophet Abraham (pbuh) lied on three occasions. Consequently, some commentators have relied on the literal meaning of the Hadith, others have moved away from the literal meaning and turned to interpretation (ta'wil), and some have emphasized its lack of authenticity and baselessness. This is while Abu Hurairah's uniqueness in transmitting this narration, instability in the chain (isnad) and text, the phenomenon of transmission by meaning, the possibility of other interpretations and ta'wil of the narration, and the existence of the third lie story (regarding Sarah) in the distorted Torah, are all factors that raise the possibility of it being fabricated or of Isra'iliyyat origin.
Machine summary:
" is a famous narration that has been transmitted in many Sunni hadith and tafsir collections from Abu Hurairah, from the Messenger of Allah , which on its surface indicates that Prophet Ibrahim lied on three occasions.
com / Problem Statement One of the famous narrations transmitted in many Sunni hadith and tafsir works is a narration from Abu Hurairah, reported from the Messenger of Allah , who said: Prophet Ibrahim lied only in three instances, and these lies were in these cases: when the idolaters asked him about their idols which were broken, Ibrahim said: «قـال بـل فعلـه کبيرهم هذا فسئلوهم إن کانوا ينطقون »(انبياء: ٦٣؛ [not] but rather their eldest has done it, if they can speak, ask them) and when he said: «فقال إنـي سـقيم »(صـافات : ٨٩؛ I am ill) and the statement of Prophet Ibrahim where he introduced his wife Sarah as his sister.
211 AH) in the book Tafsir al-Qur'an, has transmitted this narration through Ma'mar from Ayyub from Ibn Sirin from Abu Hurairah as follows: Ibrahim and Sarah were passing through the city of one of the tyrannical kings, and news of the two reached that king.
Shahid Muhammad Baqir Hakim also believes that it is impossible for us except to consider this hadith as part of the Isra'iliyyat, due to the content in which Prophet Ibrahim has been uglily accused of lying; especially since the story of the third lie is not mentioned in the Holy Quran, and for each of these cases, a clear interpretation can be provided.
