[3758] 12 - (1497) It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "Mention of Li'ân was made in the presence of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. 'Asim bin 'Adiyy said something about that, then he left. A man from among his people came to him and complained that he had found a man with his wife. 'Asim said: 'I am being tested with what I said.' He took him to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and told him what he had found his wife doing. That man was sallow and lean, with straight hair, and the one whom he claimed to have found with his wife had fleshy calves and was dark and bulky. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'O Allāh, make it clear.' Then she gave birth to a child who resembled the one who her husband said he found with her. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ made them engage in Li'an.' A man said to Ibn 'Abbās in that gathering: "Was she the one about whom the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'If I were to have stoned anyone without evidence, I would have stoned this woman?' Ibn 'Abbās said: 'No, that was a woman who continued to be a bad woman after becoming Muslim.'"
