    89. By "I am about to be sick" there are two possibilities; one is that I am sick or I am terribly disheartened by your behaviour and my sickness is turned to sadness. The other is, I would be becoming a victim of infectious disease. These people were very scared of infectious diseases, like the present day gnorant people are over-cautious about smalllpox and cholera, fearing their infectious effects. In the blessed talk of Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace) there is concealment, not falschood. At the time of need such concealment is permissible. In the use of puns, the meaning further from the literal meaning should be taken.

    Ala-Maududi

    (37:89) and said: “I am sick.”[49]

    49. This is one of those three things concerning which it is said that the Prophet Abraham had told three lies in his life, whereas it should be ascertained before declaring it a lie, or anything contrary to fact, whether the Prophet Abraham at that time was not suffering from any illness, and therefore, he had made this excuse only as a pretense. If there is no proof, there is no reason why it should be regarded as a lie. For a detailed discussion, please refer to (Surah Al-Anbiya, ayat 63) note 60 and Rasail-o-Masail, vol. II, pp. 35 to 39. (A book by Abul Aala Moududi).

    (89) And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."
