46. Chapter
٤٦۔ كِتَابُ اللِّعَانِ
The words narrated by Malik alone are: "and he attributed the child to the woman." Yunus narrated from Al Zuhri on the authority of Sahl bin Sa’d in the tradition regarding li’an(invoking curses). He disowned her conception hence her child was attributed to her. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2259)
لَاعَنَ امْرَأَتَهُ فِي زَمَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَانْتَفَى مِنْ وَلَدِهَا فَفَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمَا وَأَلْحَقَ الْوَلَدَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ
لَاعَنَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَفَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمَا وَأَلْحَقَ الْوَلَدَ بِأُمِّهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the two curse-invokers, "Your account is with Allah. One of you is a liar, and there is no way for you to avoid it." One of them said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is mine is mine." He ﷺ said, "If you are truthful about it, then it is what you have legally acquired from her private part. But if you are lying about it, then it is further away from you than her (private part). This was reported in the authentic Hadith by Sufyan, as it has been transmitted to us from Muhammad ibn Zaid, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn 'Umar, from the Prophet ﷺ , who said, "When two curse-invokers separate, they will never come together again."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِلْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ حِسَابُكُمَا عَلَى اللهِ أَحَدُكُمَا كَاذِبٌ لَا سَبِيلَ لَكَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَالِي مَالِي قَالَ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَدَقْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَهُوَ بِمَا اسْتَحْلَلْتَ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا وَإِنْ كُنْتَ كَذَبْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَهُوَ أَبْعَدُ لَكَ مِنْهُ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ كَمَا مَضَى وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمُتَلَاعِنَانِ إِذَا تَفَرَّقَا لَا يَجْتَمِعَانِ أَبَدًا
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ cursed them both and she testified four times by Allah that he was among the liars. When it came to the fifth time, she was told to fear Allah, for the punishment of this world is lighter than the punishment of the hereafter, and this is the incident that would warrant punishment for her. She remained silent for a moment, then she said, "By Allah, I will not bring shame upon my people," and she testified during the fifth time that the wrath of Allah be upon her if he was among the truthful. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then separated them and decided that her child could not be attributed to any father, and she could not be accused of adultery. Whoever accuses her or accuses her child will be subjected to the prescribed punishment. He also decided that she would have no home or provision because they would separate without divorce or her becoming a widow.
النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَاعَنَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَأَنَّهَا شَهِدَتْ بَعْدَ الْتِعَانِ الزَّوْجِ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللهِ أَنَّهُ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْخَامِسَةُ قِيلَ لَهَا اتَّقِي اللهَ فَإِنَّ عَذَابَ الدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْآخِرَةِ وإِنَّ هَذِهِ الْمُوجِبَةُ الَّتِي تُوجِبُ عَلَيْكِ الْعَذَابَ فَسَكَتَتْ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَتْ وَاللهِ لَا أَفْضَحُ قَوْمِي فَشَهِدَتْ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ أَنَّ غَضَبَ اللهِ عَلَيْهَا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ فَفَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمَا وَقَضَى أَنْ لَا يُدْعَى وَلَدُهَا لِأَبٍ وَلَا تُرْمَى وَلَا يُرْمَى وَلَدُهَا وَمَنْ رَمَاهَا أَوْ رَمَى وَلَدَهَا فَعَلَيْهِ الْحَدُّ وَقَضَى أَنْ لَا بَيْتَ لَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَلَا قُوتَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمَا يَتَفَرَّقَانِ مِنْ غَيْرِ طَلَاقٍ وَلَا مُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا
[Machine] So the year passed and the cursed ones were separated, never to be reunited again.
فَمَضَتِ السُّنَّةُ بَعْدُ فِي الْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا ثُمَّ لَا يَجْتَمِعَانِ أَبَدًا
[Machine] So we cursed in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ separated between them and said, "They shall never come together."
فَتَلَاعَنَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَفَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمَا وَقَالَ لَا يَجْتَمِعَانِ أَبَدًا
أَنْ لَا يَجْتَمِعَا أَبَدًا
[Machine] "They are separated and will never come together."
يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَا يَجْتَمِعَانِ أَبَدًا الْحَدُّ
[Machine] If he lies about himself after swearing, he will be struck and the child will be attached to him, and they will never be united. And Allah knows best.
إِذَا أَكْذَبَ نَفْسَهُ بَعْدَ اللِّعَانِ ضُرِبَ وَأُلْزِقَ بِهِ الْوَلَدُ وَلَا يَجْتَمِعَانِ أَبَدًا وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
