Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a hadith established regarding the reward of the peacemaker (between people) that it is like one who stands in prayer at night and fasts during the day?

Answer:
It came in a hadith:
Shall I inform you of the best of your deeds? Making peace between people,ألا أُنَبِّئكم بخير أعمالكم؟ إصلاح ذات البين،
And he said:
it is the Haliqah. I do not speak of what cuts the hair, but what severs the religionوفساد ذات البين هي الحالقة، لا أقول: تحلق الشعر، ولكن تحلق الدِّين
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2510Da'if (Darussalam)
, so the point is that making peace between people contains much good.
Q: Some people praise one group to the second group, even though they are not worthy of it, and say: This is a type of lying that is permissible?
A: If it is for the sake of making peace between them, there is no harm. He says: They praise you, and they speak well of you, and he says to the others: They speak well of you, until he brings about peace between them, from the perspective of making peace between them.
Q: Even though he says: Their creed is good, when they are not so?
A: No, if it is something that makes peace between them, he says: Your quarter praises you, he says: Our quarter, and we love to make peace between them, and we love to make peace between us, and they are nothing but good, and the like of this, so he is not lying in the creed, rather he is lying in making peace between them.
