Arabic text

3467 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: «لَاعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ الْعَجْلَانِيِّ وَامْرَأَتِهِ وَكَانَتْ حُبْلَى»

Commentary

1. If a woman becomes pregnant and her husband has certitude that the pregnancy is the result of adultery and not caused by him, he may go to the court of law to bring a suit against the woman. The court would summon the woman and bring about the invocation of the curse. 2. Li'an is supplicating for the curse of Allāh upon the liar. Since, while swearing, man usually curses the liar, this process was named Li'an.
