Ibn Shihab informed me of Lian and the tradition related to it, referring to the narration of Sahl bin Saʿd, the brother of Bani Saʿidi He said, "An Ansari man came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! If a man saw another man with his wife, should he kill him, or what should he do?' So Allah revealed concerning his affair what is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an about the affair of those involved in a case of Lian. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Allah has given His verdict regarding you and your wife.' So they carried out Lian in the mosque while I was present there. When they had finished, the man said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! If I should now keep her with me as a wife then I have told a lie about her. Then he divorced her thrice before Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him, when they had finished the Lian process. So he divorced her in front of the Prophet ﷺ ." Ibn Shihab added, "After their case, it became a tradition that a couple involved in a case of Lian should be separated by divorce. That lady was pregnant then, and later on her son was called by his mother's name. The tradition concerning their inheritance was that she would be his heir and he would inherit of her property the share Allah had prescribed for him." Ibn Shihab said that Sahl bin Saʿd As'Saidi said that the Prophet ﷺ said (in the above narration), "If that lady delivers a small red child like a lizard, then the lady has spoken the truth and the man was a liar, but if she delivers a child with black eyes and huge lips, then her husband has spoken the truth." Then she delivered it in the shape one would dislike (as it proved her guilty).  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلاً وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً أَيَقْتُلُهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَفْعَلُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي شَأْنِهِ مَا ذَكَرَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَدْ قَضَى اللَّهُ فِيكَ وَفِي امْرَأَتِكَ قَالَ فَتَلاَعَنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَا قَالَ كَذَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَمْسَكْتُهَا فَطَلَّقَهَا ثَلاَثًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ فَرَغَا مِنَ التَّلاَعُنِ فَفَارَقَهَا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ تَفْرِيقٌ بَيْنَ كُلِّ مُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَكَانَتِ السُّنَّةُ بَعْدَهُمَا أَنْ يُفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ وَكَانَتْ حَامِلاً وَكَانَ ابْنُهَا يُدْعَى لأُمِّهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ جَرَتِ السُّنَّةُ فِي مِيرَاثِهَا أَنَّهَا تَرِثُهُ وَيَرِثُ مِنْهَا مَا فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَهُ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَحْمَرَ قَصِيرًا كَأَنَّهُ وَحَرَةٌ فَلاَ أُرَاهَا إِلاَّ قَدْ صَدَقَتْ وَكَذَبَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ أَعْيَنَ ذَا أَلْيَتَيْنِ فَلاَ أُرَاهُ إِلاَّ قَدْ صَدَقَ عَلَيْهَا فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ عَلَى الْمَكْرُوهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] A man from the Ansar came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what if a man finds his wife with another man and kills him, would you kill him or how would he act?" So Allah revealed in the Quran the ruling concerning this matter. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Allah has decreed regarding you and your wife." The man said, "We cursed each other in the mosque and I witnessed it. When we finished, I lied about it, O Messenger of Allah. If I had held her, I would have divorced her before the Prophet commanded it.” When they finished cursing each other, she left him in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said, "That is the separation between every cursed couple." The Prophet ﷺ also said, "If she comes with Uhaymir, a short-statured person who appears as a free woman, then I do not see her except that she is telling the truth and he is lying about her. And if she comes with someone who has black eyes with two thick eyelashes, then I do not see him except that he is telling the truth about her." So she came with him against her wishes in accordance with that which is detested.

Sahl bin Sa’ad Al Sa’idi said that ‘Uwaimir bin Ashqar Al Ajilani came to ‘Asim bin Adl and said to him “Asim tell me about a man who finds a man along with his wife. Should he kill him and then be killed by you, or how should he act? Ask the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ ‘Asim, for me about it. ‘Asim then asked the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ about it. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ disliked the question and denounced it. What ‘Asim heard from the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ fell heavy on him. When ‘Asim returned to his family ‘Uwaimr came to him and asked ‘Asim “What did the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ say to you”? Asim replied “You did not do good to me”. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ disliked the question that I asked him. Thereupon ‘Uwaimir said “I swear by Allaah, I shall not leave until I ask him about it. So, ‘Uwaimir came to the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ while he was sitting in the midst of the people.” He said “Apostle of Allaah ﷺ tell me about a man who finds a man along with his wife. Should he kill him and then be killed by you, or how should he act?” The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “A revelation has been sent down about you and your wife so go away and bring her. Sahl said “So we cursed one another while I was along with the people who were with the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ. Then when they finished, ‘Umamir said “I shall have lied against her, Apostle of Allaah ﷺ if I keep her. He pronounced her divorce three times before the Apostle of Allaah ﷺcommanded him (to do so). Ibn Shihab said “Then this became the method of invoking curses.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2245)

[Machine] A man from the Ansar came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what should a man do if he finds his wife with another man? Should he kill him and be killed himself?" So Allah revealed in the Quran regarding this matter. The Prophet ﷺ said, "The matter has been decided for you and your wife." They both cursed each other, and then the man left his wife in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ . It became a practice after them that if a couple curses each other, they should be separated. The wife was pregnant, and he denied that the child was his. His son was called to his mother. Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, Abu Al-Abbas I am Ar-Rabi' reported in the hadith of Ibn Abi Dhia' that it indicates that Sahl ibn Sa'd said, "It was the practice of the cursed ones." In the hadith of Malik and Ibrahim ibn Sa'd, it is as if it is the statement of Ibn Shihab, and it may be that this is not a difference mentioned by Ibn Shihab once without mentioning Sa'ad and another time mentioning Sa'ad. Ibn Abi Dhia' agreed with Ibrahim ibn Sa'd in what he added to the end of the hadith in addition to the hadith of Malik. As for the hadith of Ibn Abi Dhia' it was informed by Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz, Abu Sa'd Ahmad ibn Ya'qub ibn Ahmad Al-Thaqafi. Umar ibn Hafs As-Sadusi informed us, Asim ibn Ali narrated to us, Ibn Abi Dhia' narrated from Az-Zuhri, from Sahl ibn Sa'd As-Sa'idi, that Uwaimir came to Asim ibn Adi and mentioned the hadith in the meaning of the narration of Abdullah ibn Naafi'.

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if a man finds another man with his wife, should he kill him and you kill her?" So Allah revealed concerning both of them what is mentioned in the Quran regarding the adulterous couple. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has decided in your case and in the case of your wife." He said, "We curse each other and I am a witness before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you keep her, you have lied about her, so divorce her." The tradition among them was to separate between the two cursed individuals, and she was pregnant and denied her pregnancy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Her child will be called to her." Then the tradition regarding inheritance was implemented, that he would inherit her and she would inherit from him what Allah had ordained for her. Abu Ya'la said, "The matter was decided regarding him." He said, "He and al-Hasan." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, if I keep her and they testify, it will be a tradition between them and their speech will be about other than that."

‘Abd Allah (bin Mas’ud) said “We were in the mosque on the night of a Friday, suddenly a man from the Ansar entered the mosque”. And said “If a man finds a man along with wife and declares (about her adultery) you will flog him. Or if he kills you, you will kill him or if keeps silence he will keep silence in anger. I swear by Allaah, I shall ask the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ about it”. On the next day he came to the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ and said “If a man finds a man along with wife and declares (about her adultery) you will flog him. Or if he kills you, you will kill him or if keeps silence he will keep silence in anger.” He said “O Allaah, disclose”. He kept on praying until the verses regarding invoking curses (li’an) came down “As for those who accuse their wives but have no witnesses except themselves.” So, the man was first involved in this trial among the people. He and his wife came to the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ. They invoked curses on each other. The man bore witness before Allaah four times that the thing he said was indeed true. He then invoked curse of Allaah on him for the fifth time if he was a liar. She then wanted to invoke curses of Allaah on him. The Prophet ﷺ said “Do not do that. Bust she refused and did so (i.e., invoked curses). When they returned he said “Perhaps she will give birth to a black child with curly hair. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2253)

"عَبْ: ثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِى ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ جَاءَ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَارَسُولَ الله، أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَيَقْتُلُونَهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَفْعَلُ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ الله فِى شَأنِهِ مَا ذُكِرَ فِى الْقُرَآنِ فِى أَمْرِ الْمُتَلاَعنَيْنِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ ، قَدْ قَضَى الله فِيكَ وَفِى امْرَأَتِكَ، فَتَلاَعَنَا فِى الْمَسْجِدِ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ، قَالَ: كَذَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا يَارَسُولَ الله إِنْ أَمْسَكْتُهَا، فَطَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأمُرَهُ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ حِينَ فَرَغَا مِنَ التلاَعُنِ، فَفَارَقها عِنْدَ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ ذَلِكَ التَّفْرِيقُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ مُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ، وَكَانَتْ حَامِلًا، فَأَنْكَرَهُ، فَكَانَ ابْنُهَا يُدْعَى

لأُمِّهِ، وَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : إِن جَاءَتْ بِهِ أُحَيْمِرَ قَضِيئًا (*) كَأَنَّهُ وَحَرَةٌ (* *) فَلاَ أَرَاهَا إِلاَّ صَدَقَتْ، وَكَذَبَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ ذَا أَلْيَتَيْنِ، فَلاَ أُرَاهُ إِلاَّ قَدْ صَدَقَ عَلَيْهَا، فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ عَلَى الْمَكْرُوهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: وَسَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الله بْنَ عُبَيدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ يَقُولُ: قِيلَ لِلنَّبِىِّ ﷺ : هُوَ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ الله، هُوَ هَذَا، فَأَمَدَّهُ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ بِبَصَرِهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ قَائِلٌ لَهُ شَيْئًا، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَهُ شَيْئًا، قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: وَسَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبَّادِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ يَقُولُ: قَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : لَمَّا تَلاَعَنَا، أَمَّا أَنْتُمَا فَقَدْ عَرَفْتُمَا أنِّى لاَ أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيجٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ مِنْ شَأنِ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ ، قَالَ: لاَ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَكُونَ أَوَّلَ الأَرْبَعَةِ".
