Makarim al-AkhlaqIbn Abi al-Dunya

130 — Ahmad ibn Ibrāhīm al-ʿAbdī narrated to us. Muhammad ibn ʿUbayd narrated to us, saying: Dāwūd al-ʿAttār narrated to me, saying: “Qutayba ibn Muslim sent Bakr ibn Māʿiz back from Khurāsān. A man accompanied him and asked, ‘Bakr, have you ever lied?’ He gave him no answer. The man again asked, ‘Bakr, have you ever lied?’ He still gave him no answer. When they reached the bathhouse of ʿUmar—or the bathhouse of Aʿyan—the man asked, ‘Bakr, have you ever lied?’ He replied, ‘You have pressed me about this enough. I have never told a lie except once. Qutayba required us to bear arms, so I borrowed a spear. When I passed before him carrying it, he asked, “Bakr, is this weapon yours?” I said, “Yes,” although the spear was not mine.’”

١٣٠ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي دَاوُدُ الْعَطَّارُ، قَالَ: " أَقْفَلَ قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ بَكْرَ بْنَ مَاعِزٍ مِنْ خُرَاسَانَ، فَصَحِبَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا بَكْرُ، كَذَبْتَ قَطُّ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ. قَالَ: يَا بَكْرُ، كَذَبْتَ قَطُّ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ. حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى حَمَّامِ عُمَرَ أَوْ حَمَّامِ أَعْيَنَ فَقَالَ: يَا بَكْرُ، كَذَبْتَ قَطُّ؟ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّكَ قَدْ أَكْثَرْتَ عَلَيَّ، وَإِنِّي لَمْ أَكْذِبْ كِذْبَةً قَطُّ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً، فَإِنَّ قُتَيْبَةَ أَخَذَنَا بِالسِّلَاحِ، فَاسْتَعَرْتُ رُمْحًا، فَلَمَّا مَرَرْتُ بِهِ، قَالَ: يَا بَكْرُ هَذَا السِّلَاحُ لَكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، وَكَانَ الرُّمْحُ لَيْسَ لِي "
