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).  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْ كُنْتُ رَاجِمًا امْرَأَةً عَنْ غَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ قَالَ لاَ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ أَعْلَنَتْ  

Ibn ʿAbbas mentioned the case of a couple on whom the judgment of Lian has been passed. ʿAbdullah bin Shaddad said, "Was that the lady in whose case the Prophet ﷺ said, "If I were to stone a lady to death without a proof (against her)?' "Ibn ʿAbbas said, "No! That was concerned with a woman who though being a Muslim used to arouse suspicion by her outright misbehavior." (See Hadith No. 230, Vol.7)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْ كُنْتُ رَاجِمًا امْرَأَةً مِنْ غَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ قَالَ لاَ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ أَعْلَنَتْ  

“Ibn ʿAbbas mentioned two people who had engaged in the process of Liʿan. Ibn Shaddad said to him: 'Is this the one of whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “If I were to stone anyone without proof I would have stoned so-and-so.” IbnʿAbbas said: 'No, that was a woman who, (although she was a Muslim), used to expose herself.'”  

لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْ كُنْتُ رَاجِمًا أَحَدًا بِغَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ لَرَجَمْتُهَا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ أَعْلَنَتْ
