Tafsir of 37:88

فَتَوَلَّوْاْ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ (So they turned away from him and departed.) Qatadah said, "The Arabs say of one who thinks deeply that he is looking at the stars." What Qatadah meant is that he looked at the heavens, thinking of a way to distract his people. So he said, إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ (Verily, I am sick.) Meaning weak. Ibn Jarir narrated here a Hadith from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, stating that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «لَمْ يَكْذِبْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ غَيْرَ ثَلَاثَ كَذَبَاتٍ: ثِنْتَيْنِ فِي ذَاتِ اللهِ تَعَالَى، قَوْلُهُ: إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ وَقَوْلُهُ: بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا وَقَوْلُهُ فِي سَارَّةَ: هِيَ أُخْتِي» (Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) did not lie except in three cases. Two were for the sake of Allah: (one is) when he said, "Verily, I am sick"; (the second) when he said, "Nay, this one, the biggest of them (idols) did it"; and (the third) when he said concerning (his wife) Sarah, "She is my sister." This Hadith is recorded in the books of the Sahih and Sunan with various chains of narrations.…
