[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about a man who sees his wife with another man; should he kill him and then be killed, or what should he do?" So Allah ﷻ revealed regarding them what is mentioned in the Qur'an about the cursing. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "The matter has been decided regarding you and your wife." He said, "We cursed each other while I was present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, if I were to keep her, then I would have lied about her. So I separated from her and the practice (Sunnah) among them was that they would be separated between the two who cursed each other. And she was pregnant, so he denied her pregnancy. The practice after that regarding inheritance was that she could inherit from him what Allah had ordained for her."

bukhari:4746Sulaymān b. Dāwud Abū al-Rabīʿ > Fulayḥ > al-Zuhrī > Sahl b. Saʿd

A man came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Suppose a man saw another man with his wife, should he kill him whereupon you might kill him (i.e. the killer) (in Qisas) or what should he do?" So Allah revealed concerning their case what is mentioned of the order of Mula'ana. Allah's Apostle said to the man, "The matter between you and your wife has been decided." So they did Mula'ana in the presence of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I was present there, and then the man divorced his wife. So it became a tradition to dissolve the marriage of those spouses who were involved in a case of Mula'ana. The woman was pregnant and the husband denied that he was the cause of her pregnancy, so the son was (later) ascribed to her. Then it became a tradition that such a son would be the heir of his mother, and she would inherit of him what Allah prescribed for her.

أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلاً رَأَى مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَقْتُلُونَهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَفْعَلُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمَا مَا ذُكِرَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِنَ التَّلاَعُنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ قُضِيَ فِيكَ وَفِي امْرَأَتِكَ قَالَ فَتَلاَعَنَا وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَفَارَقَهَا فَكَانَتْ سُنَّةً أَنْ يُفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ وَكَانَتْ حَامِلاً فَأَنْكَرَ حَمْلَهَا وَكَانَ ابْنُهَا يُدْعَى إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ جَرَتِ السُّنَّةُ فِي الْمِيرَاثِ أَنْ يَرِثَهَا وَتَرِثَ مِنْهُ مَا فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَهَا

Ibn Shihab informed me of Lian and the tradition related to it, referring to the narration of Sahl bin Saʿd, the brother of Bani Saʿidi He said, "An Ansari man came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! If a man saw another man with his wife, should he kill him, or what should he do?' So Allah revealed concerning his affair what is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an about the affair of those involved in a case of Lian. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Allah has given His verdict regarding you and your wife.' So they carried out Lian in the mosque while I was present there. When they had finished, the man said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! If I should now keep her with me as a wife then I have told a lie about her. Then he divorced her thrice before Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him, when they had finished the Lian process. So he divorced her in front of the Prophet ﷺ ." Ibn Shihab added, "After their case, it became a tradition that a couple involved in a case of Lian should be separated by divorce. That lady was pregnant then, and later on her son was called by his mother's name. The tradition concerning their inheritance was that she would be his heir and he would inherit of her property the share Allah had prescribed for him." Ibn Shihab said that Sahl bin Saʿd As'Saidi said that the Prophet ﷺ said (in the above narration), "If that lady delivers a small red child like a lizard, then the lady has spoken the truth and the man was a liar, but if she delivers a child with black eyes and huge lips, then her husband has spoken the truth." Then she delivered it in the shape one would dislike (as it proved her guilty).

[Machine] He said, "A man from the Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, if a man finds another man with his wife, should he kill him?' He replied, 'Allah has revealed in the Quran what relates to this matter with regards to cursing.' So they both cursed each other, and I was a witness. Then the man left the presence of the Messenger of Allah."

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about a man who finds another man with his wife, should he kill him and they kill him, or how should he act?" The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "Allah has revealed regarding you and your wife, so go and bring her." Sahil, who was present among the people before the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, cursed her. When they finished cursing each other, he said, "O Messenger of Allah, I lied about her. If I had caught her, I would have divorced her three times before the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, ordered me." Ibn Shihab said, "And that was after the Sunnah of the two who cursed each other."

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of a man who sees his wife with another man and he kills him, and then you also kill him? How would you deal with him?" So Allah, the Most High, revealed what is mentioned in the Quran about those who curse each other. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "The matter concerning you and your wife has been settled." He said, "But we cursed each other and I was a witness before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, if I had restrained myself from killing him, I would have lied about her, so I divorced her." Then she became pregnant and he denied the pregnancy. Her son was summoned to her, and then the ruling regarding inheritance was applied, that he would inherit from her and she would inherit from him as Allah had prescribed for her.

[Machine] A man from the Ansar came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what if a man finds his wife with another man and kills him, would you kill him or how would he act?" So Allah revealed in the Quran the ruling concerning this matter. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Allah has decreed regarding you and your wife." The man said, "We cursed each other in the mosque and I witnessed it. When we finished, I lied about it, O Messenger of Allah. If I had held her, I would have divorced her before the Prophet commanded it.” When they finished cursing each other, she left him in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said, "That is the separation between every cursed couple." The Prophet ﷺ also said, "If she comes with Uhaymir, a short-statured person who appears as a free woman, then I do not see her except that she is telling the truth and he is lying about her. And if she comes with someone who has black eyes with two thick eyelashes, then I do not see him except that he is telling the truth about her." So she came with him against her wishes in accordance with that which is detested.

Sahl bin Sa’ad Al Sa’idi said that ‘Uwaimir bin Ashqar Al Ajilani came to ‘Asim bin Adl and said to him “Asim tell me about a man who finds a man along with his wife. Should he kill him and then be killed by you, or how should he act? Ask the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ ‘Asim, for me about it. ‘Asim then asked the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ about it. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ disliked the question and denounced it. What ‘Asim heard from the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ fell heavy on him. When ‘Asim returned to his family ‘Uwaimr came to him and asked ‘Asim “What did the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ say to you”? Asim replied “You did not do good to me”. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ disliked the question that I asked him. Thereupon ‘Uwaimir said “I swear by Allaah, I shall not leave until I ask him about it. So, ‘Uwaimir came to the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ while he was sitting in the midst of the people.” He said “Apostle of Allaah ﷺ tell me about a man who finds a man along with his wife. Should he kill him and then be killed by you, or how should he act?” The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “A revelation has been sent down about you and your wife so go away and bring her. Sahl said “So we cursed one another while I was along with the people who were with the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ. Then when they finished, ‘Umamir said “I shall have lied against her, Apostle of Allaah ﷺ if I keep her. He pronounced her divorce three times before the Apostle of Allaah ﷺcommanded him (to do so). Ibn Shihab said “Then this became the method of invoking curses.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2245)

يَا عَاصِمُ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَقْتُلُونَهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَفْعَلُ؟ سَلْ لِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَسَائِلَ وَعَابَهَا حَتَّى كَبُرَ عَلَى عَاصِمٍ مَا سَمِعَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ عَاصِمٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ جَاءَ عُوَيْمِرٌ فَقَالَ يَا عَاصِمُ مَاذَا قَالَ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ قَدْ كَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَسْأَلَةَ الَّتِي سَأَلْتَ عَنْهَا فَأَقْبَلَ عُوَيْمِرٌ حَتَّى سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَسَطِ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَقْتُلُونَهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَفْعَلُ؟ قَالَ «قَدْ نَزَلَ فِيكَ وَفِي صَاحِبَتِكَ فَاذْهَبْ فَائْتِ بِهَا» قَالَ سَهْلٌ فَتَلَاعَنَا وَأَنَا مَعَ النَّاسِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَا مِنْ تَلَاعُنِهِمَا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَذَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا إِنْ أَمْسَكْتُهَا قَالَ فَطَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِطَلَاقِهَا وَكَانَ فِرَاقُهُ إِيَّاهَا سُنَّةً بَيْنَ الْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ  

bayhaqi:12489Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. Muḥammad al-Muqriʾ > al-Ḥasan b. Muḥammad b. Isḥāq > Yūsuf b. Yaʿqūb > Abū al-Rabīʿ > Fulayḥ b. Sulaymān > al-Zuhrī > Sahl b. Saʿd al-Sāʿidī

A man came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Suppose a man saw another man with his wife, should he kill him whereupon you might kill him (i.e. the killer) (in Qisas) or what should he do?" So Allah revealed concerning their case what is mentioned of the order of Mula'ana. Allah's Apostle said to the man, "The matter between you and your wife has been decided." So they did Mula'ana in the presence of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I was present there, and then the man divorced his wife. So it became a tradition to dissolve the marriage of those spouses who were involved in a case of Mula'ana. The woman was pregnant and the husband denied that he was the cause of her pregnancy, so the son was (later) ascribed to her. Then it became a tradition that such a son would be the heir of his mother, and she would inherit of him what Allah prescribed for her. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4746)
