[Machine] Abdullah said: "We were in the mosque on Friday night when a man from the Ansar (helpers) said: 'By Allah, if a man finds another man with his wife and he speaks, they will both be flogged, and if he kills him, they will both be killed, and if he remains silent, they will remain silent due to anger. By Allah, if I live until morning, I will go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ '. When morning came, he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, if a man finds another man with his wife and he speaks, they will both be flogged, and if he kills him, they will both be killed, and if he remains silent, they will remain silent due to anger?' He kept repeating: 'O Allah, open (the matter), O Allah, open (the matter)'. then the verse of cursing was revealed: 'And those who accuse their wives [of adultery] and have no witnesses except themselves' (Quran 24:6)."
عَبْدُ اللهِ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ فَتَكَلَّمَ لَيُجْلَدَنَّ وَإِنْ قَتَلَهُ لَيُقْتَلَنَّ وَلَئِنْ سَكَتَ لَيَسْكُتَنَّ عَلَى غَيْظٍ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ أَصْبَحْتُ لَآتِيَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَئِنْ وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا فَتَكَلَّمَ لَيُجْلَدَنَّ وَإِنْ قَتَلَهُ لَيُقْتَلَنَّ وَإِنْ سَكَتَ لَيَسْكُتَنَّ عَلَى غَيْظٍ؟ وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ افْتَحْ اللهُمَّ افْتَحْ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتِ الْمُلَاعَنَةُ {وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ إِلَّا أَنْفُسُهُمْ} الْآيَةَ [النور 6]
