[3757] 11 - (1496) It was narrated that Muḥammad said: "I asked Anas bin Mâlik (about Li'ân) as I saw that he had knowledge of it. He said: 'Hilâl bin Umayyah accused his wife (of committing Zinâ) with Sharîk bin Saḥmâ', who was the brother of Al-Barâ' bin Mâlik on his mother's side. He was the first man to engage in Li'ân in Islam.' He said: 'He engaged in Li'ân with her and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Watch her. If she brings forth a child who is white with straight hair and something wrong with his eyes, then he belongs to Hilâl bin Umayyah, and if she gives birth to a child who has dark eyelids, curly hair and lean calves, then he belongs to Sharîk bin Saḥmâ'." He said: 'I was told that she gave birth to a child who had dark eyelids, curly hair and lean calves.'"

11 - (1496) وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، وَأَنَا أُرَى أَنَّ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهُ عِلْمًا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هِلَالَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ قَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ بِشَرِيكِ ابْنِ سَحْمَاءَ، وَكَانَ أَخَا الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ لِأُمِّهِ، وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ رَجُلٍ لَاعَنَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، قَالَ: فَلَاعَنَهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَبْصِرُوهَا، فَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَبْيَضَ سَبِطًا قَضِيءَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ فَهُوَ لِهِلَالِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، وَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَكْحَلَ جَعْدًا حَمْشَ السَّاقَيْنِ فَهُوَ لِشَرِيكِ ابْنِ سَحْمَاءَ»، قَالَ: فَأُنْبِئْتُ أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَكْحَلَ جَعْدًا حَمْشَ السَّاقَيْنِ
