GEN953 One should not repeat what one person said about another if he spoke in even slightly insulting terms. Chofetz Chaim, Hilchos Rechilus 8:4 In Parshas Vayeira Sarah said: “How can I have children and my husband is an old man?” Hashem repeated her words to Avraham in the following way: Sarah said, “How can I have children and I am old?” Hashem changed her version because a husband could be sensitive to being referred to as an old man, even though only slight feelings of hurt are involved.
