[Machine] When Hilal ibn Umayyah threw his wife, someone said to him, "By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ will lash you eighty lashes." Hilal responded, "Allah is more just than that, He would strike me with eighty blows, even though He knows that I have seen and heard until I am certain. No, by Allah, he will never strike me." Then the verse of cursing was revealed.  

أحمد:٢٤٦٨حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا قَذَفَ هِلالُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ امْرَأَتَهُ قِيلَ لَهُ وَاللهِ لَيَجْلِدَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً قَالَ اللهُ أَعْدَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَضْرِبَنِي ثَمَانِينَ ضَرْبَةً وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَنْتُ وَسَمِعْتُ حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَنْتُ لَا وَاللهِ لَا يَضْرِبُنِي أَبَدًا قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمُلاعَنَةِ
