English translation
2259. It was reported from Mālik, from Nāfi', from Ibn 'Umar, that a person pronounced Li'ān against his wife during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and negated her child (being his). So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ separated between them, and he gave the right of the child to the mother. (Sahih) Abū Dāwūd said: Mālik is alone with saying: "And he gave the right of the child to the mother." Yūnus reported from Az-Zuhri, from Saḥl bin Sa'd, in the Hadīth about Li'ān: "He rejected her pregnancy, so her son was named after her." [1]
