I asked Ibn ʿUmar about those who were involved in a case of Lien. He said, "The Prophet ﷺ said to those who were involved in a case of Lien, 'Your accounts are with Allah. One of you two is a liar, and you (the husband) have no right over her (she is divorced)." The man said, 'What about my property (Mahr) ?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'You have no right to get back your property. If you have told the truth about her then your property was for the consummation of your marriage with her; and if you told a lie about her, then you are less rightful to get your property back.' " Sufyan, a sub-narrator said: I learned the Hadith from ʿAmr. Narrated Aiyub: I heard Saʿid bin Jubair saying, "I asked Ibn ʿUmar, 'If a man (accuses his wife for an illegal sexual intercourse and) carries out the process of Lian (what will happen)?' Ibn ʿUmar set two of his fingers apart. (Sufyan set his index finger and middle finger apart.) Ibn ʿUmar said, 'The Prophet ﷺ separated the couple of Bani Al-Ajlan by divorce and said thrice, "Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent (to Allah)?' "  

سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنِ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ فَقَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ حِسَابُكُمَا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدُكُمَا كَاذِبٌ لاَ سَبِيلَ لَكَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ مَالِي قَالَ لاَ مَالَ لَكَ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَدَقْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَهْوَ بِمَا اسْتَحْلَلْتَ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا وَإِنْ كُنْتَ كَذَبْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَذَاكَ أَبْعَدُ لَكَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ حَفِظْتُهُ مِنْ عَمْرٍو وَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عُمَرَ رَجُلٌ لاَعَنَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ وَفَرَّقَ سُفْيَانُ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى فَرَّقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَخَوَىْ بَنِي الْعَجْلاَنِ وَقَالَ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمَا كَاذِبٌ فَهَلْ مِنْكُمَا تَائِبٌ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ حَفِظْتُهُ مِنْ عَمْرٍو وَأَيُّوبَ كَمَا أَخْبَرْتُكَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said to those who were involved in a case of Lian, "Your accounts are with Allah. One of you two is a liar. You (husband) have right on her (wife)." The husband said, "My money, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "You are not entitled to take back any money. If you have told the truth, the Mahr that you paid, was for having sexual relations with her lawfully; and if you are a liar, then you are less entitled to get it back."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِلْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ حِسَابُكُمَا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدُكُمَا كَاذِبٌ لاَ سَبِيلَ لَكَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَالِي قَالَ لاَ مَالَ لَكَ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَدَقْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَهْوَ بِمَا اسْتَحْلَلْتَ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا وَإِنْ كُنْتَ كَذَبْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَذَاكَ أَبْعَدُ وَأَبْعَدُ لَكَ مِنْهَا  

Your account is with Allah. One of you must be a liar. You have now no right over this woman. He said: Messenger of Allah, what about my wealth (dower that I paid her at the time of marriage)? He said: You have no claim to wealth. If you tell the truth, it (dower) is the recompense for your having had the right to intercourse with her, and if you tell a lie against her, it is still more remote from you than she is. Zuhair said in his narration: Sufyan reported to us on the authority of 'Amr that he had heard Sa'id b Jubair saying: I heard Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) saying that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said it.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِلْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ حِسَابُكُمَا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدُكُمَا كَاذِبٌ لاَ سَبِيلَ لَكَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَالِي قَالَ لاَ مَالَ لَكَ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَدَقْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَهْوَ بِمَا اسْتَحْلَلْتَ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا وَإِنْ كُنْتَ كَذَبْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَذَاكَ أَبْعَدُ لَكَ مِنْهَا قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

I asked Ibn 'Umar about the two who engage in Li'an. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah said to the two who engaged in Li'an: Your reckoning will be with Allah. One of you is lying, and you cannot stay with her. He said: O Messenger of Allah, my wealth! He said: You are not entitled to any wealth. If you are telling the truth about her, then it is in return for having been allowed intimacy with her, and if you are lying then you are even less entitled to it."

Ibn ‘Umar said “The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said to the spouses who invoked curses on each other. Your reckoning is in Allaah’s hands for one of you is liar there is no way for you to (remarry) her. He then asked Apostle of Allaah ﷺ what about my property? He replied “There is no property for you. If you have spoken the truth, it is the price for your having had the right to intercourse with her and if you have lied against her it is still more remote for you.

[Machine] "Allah ﷺ says to the two cursed ones, 'Your judgment is with Allah. One of you is a liar and there is no means of escape for you.' So one of them said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is my wealth?' He replied, 'You have no wealth, if you were truthful then it is with the wealth that you wrongfully acquired from her, and if you lied about her then that is further away from you.' They mentioned this in the authentic hadith as was narrated by Abdullah bin Mas'ood, Abdullah bin Umar, Abdullah bin Abbas, and Anas bin Malik. And in that is an indication of their witnessing, along with others, their cursing each other. And Allah knows best."  

اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِلْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ حِسَابُكُمَا عَلَى اللهِ أَحَدَكُمَا كَاذِبٌ لَا سَبِيلَ لَكَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَالِي مَالِي قَالَ لَا مَالَ لَكَ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَدَقْتَ فَهُوَ بِمَا اسْتَحْلَلْتَ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا وَإِنْ كُنْتَ كَذَبْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَذَاكَ أَبْعَدُ لَكَ فِيهِ أَوْ فِيهَا أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ كَمَا مَضَى وَقَدْ رَوَى قِصَّةَ الْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ؓ وَفِي ذَلِكَ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى شُهُودِهِمْ مَعَ غَيْرِهِمْ تَلَاعُنَهُمَا وَاللهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ
