2671. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهم: Hilāl bin Umaiyya accused his wife before the Prophet ﷺ of committing illegal sexual intercourse with Sharik bin Saḥma'. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Produce a proof, or else you would get the legal punishment (by being lashed) on your back." Hilāl said, "O Allāh's Messenger! If anyone of us saw another man over his wife, would he go to search for a proof?" The Prophet ﷺ went on saying, "Produce a proof or else you would get the legal punishment (by being lashed) on your back." The Prophet ﷺ then mentioned the narration of Li'an(1) (as in the Holy Book). (Surat An-Nūr: No.24)

2671 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ هِلاَلَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ قَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَرِيكِ ابْنِ سَحْمَاءَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «البَيِّنَةُ أَوْ حَدٌّ فِي ظَهْرِكَ»، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُنَا عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا، يَنْطَلِقُ يَلْتَمِسُ البَيِّنَةَ؟ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: «البَيِّنَةَ وَإِلَّا حَدٌّ فِي ظَهْرِكَ» فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ اللِّعَانِ
