1993. Anas bin Mālik narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever avoids lying while he is doing so falsely, a house will be built for him on the outskirts of Paradise. Whoever avoids arguing while he is in the right, a house will be built for him in its midst. And whoever has good character, a house will be built for him in its heights.”[1] (Da'if) This [Hadīth] is Hasan, we do not know of it except as a narration of Salamah bin Wardān from Anas [bin Mālik].
١٩٩٣ - حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ الْعَمِّيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ وَرْدَانَ اللَّيْثِيُّ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ تَرَكَ الْكَذِبَ وَهُوَ بَاطِلٌ» بُنِيَ لَهُ فِي رَبَضِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الْمِرَاءَ وَهُوَ مُحِقٌّ بُنِيَ لَهُ فِي وَسَطِهَا، وَمَنْ حَسَّنَ خُلُقَهُ بُنِيَ لَهُ فِي أَعْلَاهَا. وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ وَرْدَانَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ.

Abstaining from telling an untruth even when one is contesting for a false cause is a good trait in man's character. Kicking up disputes and argumentation is an unhealthy trait. Hence it is that avoidance of untruth in such a circumstance shall attract less reward. Avoiding disputes and argumentation even while defending a just cause is a commendable act.
