Lian was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet, ʿAsim bin Adi said a statement about it, and when he left, a man from his tribe came to him complaining that he had seen a man with his wife. ʿAsim said, "I have been put to trial only because of my statement." So he took the man to the Prophet ﷺ and the man told him about the incident. The man (husband) was of yellow complexion, thin, and of lank hair, while the man whom he had accused of having been with his wife, was reddish brown with fat thick legs and fat body. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah! Reveal the truth." Later on the lady delivered a child resembling the man whom the husband had accused of having been with her. So the Prophet ﷺ made them take the oath of Lian. A man said to Ibn ʿAbbas in the gathering, "Was that the same lady about whom the Prophet ﷺ said, "If I were to stone any lady (for committing illegal sexual intercourse) to death without witnesses, I would have stoned that lade to death?" Ibn ʿAbbas said, "No, that was another lady who used to behave in such a suspicious way among the Muslims that one might accuse her of committing illegal sexual intercourse." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6856)  

التَّلَاعُنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ فِي ذَلِكَ قَوْلًا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ يَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ مَعَ أَهْلِهِ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ مَا ابْتُلِيتُ إِلَّا بِقَوْلِي فَذَهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالَّذِي وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَتَهُ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مُصْفَرًّا قَلِيلَ اللَّحْمِ سَبِطَ الشَّعْرِ وَكَانَ الَّذِي يَدَّعِي عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَهُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ خَدْلًا كَثِيرَ اللَّحْمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اللهُمَّ بَيِّنْ فَوَضَعَتْ شَبِيهًا بِالرَّجُلِ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ زَوْجُهَا أَنَّهُ وَجَدَهُ عِنْدَهَا فَلَاعَنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ» بَيْنَهُمَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ هِيَ الَّتِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ رَجَمْتُ أَحَدًا بِغَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ رَجَمْتُ هَذِهِ؟» فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَا تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ كَانَتْ تُظْهِرُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ الشَّرَّ  

Ibn ʿAbbas mentioned the couple who had taken the oath of Lian. ʿAbdullah bin Shaddad said (to him), "Was this woman about whom Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If I were ever to stone to death any woman without witnesses. (I would have stoned that woman to death)?' Ibn ʿAbbas replied," No, that lady exposed herself (by her suspicious behavior). (Using translation from Bukhārī 6855)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ كُنْتُ رَاجِمًا مِنْ غَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ رَجَمْتُهَا؟» قَالَ لَا تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ أَعْلَنَتْ
