'Uwaimir Al-Ajlani came to ʿAsim bin Ad Al-Ansari and said to him, "O ʿAsim! Suppose a man saw another man with his wife, would he kill him whereupon you would kill him; or what should he do? Please, O ʿAsim, ask about this on my behalf." ʿAsim asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. Messenger of Allah ﷺ, disliked that question and considered it disgraceful. What ʿAsim heard from Messenger of Allah ﷺ was hard on him. When ʿAsim returned to his family, 'Uwaimir came to him and said, "O ʿAsim! What did Messenger of Allah ﷺ. say to you?" ʿAsim said to 'Uwaimir, "You never bring me any good. Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked the problem which I asked him about." 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not give up this matter until I ask the Prophet ﷺ about it." So 'Uwaimir proceeded till he came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the midst of people, and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! If a man sees another man with his wife, would he kill him, whereupon you would kill him, or what should he do?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has revealed some decree as regards you and your wives case. Go and bring her." So they carried out the process of Lian while I was present among the people with Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When they had finished their Lian, 'Uwaimir said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! If I should now keep her with me as a wife, then I have told a lie." So he divorced her thrice before Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him. (Ibn Shihab said: So divorce was the tradition for all those who were involved in a case of Lian.)
