2068. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh said: "We were in the mosque one Friday night when a man said: 'If a man finds a man with his wife and kills him, will you kill him, and if he speaks,[1] will you flog him. By Allāh I will mention that to the Prophet ﷺ.'
So he mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, and Allāh revealed the Verses of Li'ān. Then after that the man came and accused his wife, so the Prophet ﷺ told them to go through the procedure of Li'ān and he said: 'Perhaps she will give birth to a black child.' Then she gave birth to a black child with curly hair." (Sahih)

Commentary
This incident most probably is the same as the one mentioned in the previous Hadith. It seems as if he had doubt in his wife's character but he did not see that she had committed the offense with his own eyes. As he saw with his own eyes, Allāh then revealed the Verses of the Qur'ān about invoking curses.
