General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)
Sunan Abī Dāwūd 4921
لاَ أَعُدُّهُ كَاذِبًا الرَّجُلُ يُصْلِحُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ يَقُولُ الْقَوْلَ وَلاَ يُرِيدُ بِهِ إِلاَّ الإِصْلاَحَ وَالرَّجُلُ يَقُولُ فِي الْحَرْبِ وَالرَّجُلُ يُحَدِّثُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ تُحَدِّثُ زَوْجَهَا
lā aʿudduhu kādhiban ar-rajulu yuṣliḥu bayna an-nāsi yaqūlu al-qawla walā yurīdu bihi illā al-iṣlāḥa wa-ar-rajulu yaqūlu fī al-ḥarbi wa-ar-rajulu yuḥaddithu āmraʾatah wa-l-marʾah tuḥaddithu zawjahā

The full narration
Umm Kulthum, daughter of ‘Uqbah, said:I did not hear the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) making a concession for anything people say falsely except in three matters. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would say: I do not count as a 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, or a wife who says something to her husband
