Those involved in a case of Lian were mentioned before Messenger of Allah ﷺ ʿAsim bin Adi said something about that and then left. Later on a man from his tribe came to him and told him that he had found another man with his wife. On that ʿAsim said, "I have not been put to task except for what I have said (about Lian)." ʿAsim took the man to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he told him of the state in which he found his wife. The man was pale, thin and lank-haired, while the other man whom he had found with his wife was brown, fat with thick calves and curly hair. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Allah! Reveal the truth." Then the lady delivered a child resembling the man whom her husband had mentioned he had found with her. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered them to carry out Lien. A man from that gathering said to Ibn ʿAbbas, "Was she the same lady regarding whom Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If I were to stone to death someone without witnesses, I would have stoned this lady'?" Ibn ʿAbbas said, "No, that was another lady who, though being a Muslim, used to arouse suspicion because of her outright misbehavior."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ ذُكِرَ الْمُتَلاَعِنَانِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ فِي ذَلِكَ قَوْلاً ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً فَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ مَا ابْتُلِيتُ بِهَذَا الأَمْرِ إِلاَّ لِقَوْلِي فَذَهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالَّذِي وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَتَهُ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مُصْفَرًّا قَلِيلَ اللَّحْمِ سَبْطَ الشَّعَرِ وَكَانَ الَّذِي وَجَدَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ آدَمَ خَدْلاً كَثِيرَ اللَّحْمِ جَعْدًا قَطَطًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ فَوَضَعَتْ شَبِيهًا بِالرَّجُلِ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ زَوْجُهَا أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ عِنْدَهَا فَلاَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ هِيَ الَّتِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْ رَجَمْتُ أَحَدًا بِغَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ لَرَجَمْتُ هَذِهِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لاَ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ كَانَتْ تُظْهِرُ السُّوءَ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ  

Ibn ʿAbbas; said, "Once Lian was mentioned before the Prophet ﷺ whereupon ʿAsim bin Adi said something and went away. Then a man from his tribe came to him, complaining that he had found a man with his wife. ʿAsim said, 'I have not been put to task except for my statement (about Lian).' ʿAsim took the man to the Prophet ﷺ and the man told him of the state in which he had found his wife. The man was pale, thin, and of lank hair, while the other man whom he claimed he had seen with his wife, was brown, fat and had much flesh on his calves. The Prophet ﷺ invoked, saying, 'O Allah! Reveal the truth.' So that lady delivered a child resembling the man whom her husband had mentioned he had found her with. The Prophet ﷺ then made them carry out Lian." Then a man from that gathering asked Ibn ʿAbbas, "Was she the same lady regarding which the Prophet ﷺ had said, 'If I were to stone to death someone without witness, I would have stoned this lady'?" Ibn ʿAbbas said, "No, that was another lady who, though being a Muslim, used to arouse suspicion by her outright misbehavior. "

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."

Mention was made of li'an in the presence of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. And Asim b. 'Adi passed a remark about it and then turned away, and a man of his tribe came to him complaining that he had found a man with his wife, whereupon 'Asim said: I have been taken by my words. He took him to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him about the man whom he had found with his wife and this man was a lean, yellow-coloured man with lank hair, and the person who was accused of committing adultery with her (his wife) had fleshy shanks, with wheat complexion and heavy bulk. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: O Allah, make (this case) manifest. And as she gave birth to a child, whose face resembled that person about whom her husband had made mention that he had found her with, and Messenger of Allah (may peace be, upon him) had asked them to invoke curses. A person said to Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with him): Is she (that woman) about whom Messenger of Allah (may peace be upen him) (said):" If I were to stone anybody without evidence, I would have stoned her"? Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) said: No, it is not she. That woman was one who openly spread evil in society.

"Mention of Li'an was made in the presence of the Messenger of Allah and 'Asim bin 'Adiyy said something about that, then he went away. A man from among his people came to him, complaining that he had found a man with his wife. 'Asim said: 'I was only put to this test because of what I said.' He took him to the Messenger of Allah and told him of the situation in which he found his wife. That man was pale and slim with straight hair, and the one whom he claimed to have found with his wife was dark and well-built. The Messenger of Allah said: 'O Allah, make it clear to me.' Then she gave birth to a child who resembled the one whom her husband said he had found with her. So the Messenger of Allah conducted the procedure of Li'an between them." A man in the gathering said to Ibn 'Abbas: "Was she the one of whom the Messenger of Allah said: 'If I were to have stoned anyone without evidence I would have stoned this one?'" Ibn 'Abbas said: "No, that was a woman who used to do mischief even after becoming Muslim."

Those involved in a case of Lian were mentioned before Messenger of Allah ﷺ ʿAsim bin Adi said something about that and then left. Later on a man from his tribe came to him and told him that he had found another man with his wife. On that ʿAsim said, "I have not been put to task except for what I have said (about Lian)." ʿAsim took the man to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he told him of the state in which he found his wife.

[Machine] The cursed ones were mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so Asim ibn Adi made a statement about it and then left. A man from his tribe came to him and informed him that he found another man with his wife. Asim replied, "I would not have been afflicted with this if it wasn't for my statement." He then brought the matter to the attention of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him about what he found upon his wife. This man was fair in complexion, lean, with little flesh and thin hair. The one who claimed to have found Adam among his people, was described as tall, with abundant curly hair. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ invoked Allah, saying, "O Allah, make the truth clear." He then presented a man who resembled the one mentioned by her husband as the one he found with her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then invoked a curse between the couple. A man in the gathering said to Ibn Abbas, "She is the one whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If I had stoned someone without clear evidence, I would have stoned her.'" Ibn Abbas replied, "She is not a woman who displays evil in Islam."
