3502. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbâs: "When the Prophet ﷺ commanded the two who were engaging in Li'ân to utter the fifth oath, he commanded a man to place his hand over his mouth, and he said: "It will inevitably bring the punishment upon the liar."[1](Sahîh)
3472 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَمَرَ رَجُلًا حِينَ أَمَرَ الْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ أَنْ يَتَلَاعَنَا، أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عِنْدَ الْخَامِسَةِ عَلَى فِيهِ، وَقَالَ: «إِنَّهَا مُوجِبَةٌ»

Before the fifth oath, there is possibility of retraction; retraction is not possible after the fifth oath. Thereupon the matter is consigned to Allâh Most High. That is why a hand should be placed over the swearer's mouth that if he or she is lying, they should stop at that. A woman would place her hand upon a woman's mouth.
