5310. Narrated Al-Qāsim bin Muḥammad: Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهما said, “Once Li’ān was mentioned before the Prophet ﷺ whereupon ‘Āsim bin Adī said something and went away. Then a man from his tribe came to him, complaining that he had found a man with his wife. ‘Āsim said, ‘I have not been put to task except for my statement (about Li’ān).’ ‘Āsim took the man to the Prophet ﷺ and the man told him of the state in which he had found his wife. The man was pale, thin, and of lank hair, while the other man whom he claimed he had seen with his wife, was brown, fat and had much flesh on his calves. The Prophet ﷺ invoked, saying, ‘O Allāh! Reveal the truth.’ So that lady delivered a child resembling the man whom her husband had mentioned he had found her with. The Prophet ﷺ then made them carry out Li’ān.” Then a man from that gathering asked Ibn ‘Abbās, “Was she the
same lady regarding which the Prophet ﷺ had said, 'If I were to stone to death someone without witness, I would have stoned this lady?'" Ibn 'Abbās said, "No, that was another lady who, though being a Muslim, used to arouse suspicion by her outright misbehaviour."

5310 - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ القَاسِمِ، عَنِ القَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ ذُكِرَ التَّلاَعُنُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ فِي ذَلِكَ قَوْلًا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ يَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا، فَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ: مَا ابْتُلِيتُ بِهَذَا الأَمْرِ إِلَّا لِقَوْلِي، فَذَهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالَّذِي وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَتَهُ، وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مُصْفَرًّا قَلِيلَ اللَّحْمِ سَبْطَ الشَّعَرِ، وَكَانَ الَّذِي ادَّعَى عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَهُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ خَدْلًا آدَمَ كَثِيرَ اللَّحْمِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ» فَجَاءَتْ شَبِيهًا بِالرَّجُلِ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ زَوْجُهَا أَنَّهُ وَجَدَهُ، فَلاَعَنَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَهُمَا. قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي المَجْلِسِ: هِيَ الَّتِي قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ رَجَمْتُ أَحَدًا بِغَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ، رَجَمْتُ هَذِهِ» فَقَالَ: لاَ، تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ كَانَتْ تُظْهِرُ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ السُّوءَ قَالَ أَبُو صَالِحٍ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ: آدَمَ خَدِلًا
