2257. It was reported from 'Amr that he heard Sa'eed bin Jubair saying: "I heard Ibn 'Umar saying: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to the two who pronounced Li'an: "Your judgment is with Allāh. One of you two is lying." (And he said to the man): "You have nothing to do with her." He replied: "O Messenger of Allāh, my wealth!" He said: "No wealth (is due) to you. If you have told the truth about her, then it is that with which have permitted of her private parts, and if you have lied against her, then that is even further away from you." (Saḥīḥ)

Arabic text

2257 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعَ عَمْرٌو، سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ: «حِسَابُكُمَا عَلَى اللَّهِ، أَحَدُكُمَا كَاذِبٌ، لَا سَبِيلَ لَكَ عَلَيْهَا»، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَالِي؟ قَالَ: «لَا مَالَ لَكَ، إِنْ كُنْتَ صَدَقْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَهُوَ بِمَا اسْتَحْلَلْتَ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ كَذَبْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَذَلِكَ أَبْعَدُ لَكَ»

If Li'ān takes place, the husband loses his right to get back any part of the dowry (Mahr).
