5349. Narrated Sa'īd bin Jubair : I said to Ibn 'Umar, "If a man accuses his wife of illegal sexual intercourse (what is the judgement)?" He said, "Allāh's Prophet ﷺ separated the couple of Banī 'Ajlān (when the husband accused his wife for an illegal sexual intercourse). The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Allāh knows that one of you two is a liar ; so will one of you repent?' But they refused. He then again said, 'Allāh knows that one of you two is a liar ; so will one of you repent?' But they refused, whereupon he separated them by divorce." Ayyūb (a subnarrator) said: 'Amr bin Dīnār said to me, "In the narration there is something which I do not see you mentioning, i.e. the husband said, "What about my money (Mahr)?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "You are not entitled to take back your money, for if you told the truth you have already entered upon her (and consummated your marriage with her) and if you are a liar then you are less entitled to take it back."
