3511. It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that he heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say when the Verse of Mulâ'anah (Li'an) was revealed: "Any woman who falsely
attributes a man[1] to people to whom he does not belong, has no share from Allāh, and Allāh will not admit her to His Paradise. Any man who denies his son while looking at him (knowing that he is indeed his son), Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, will cast him away, and disgrace him before the first and the last on the Day of Resurrection.” (Hasan)

Commentary
1. 'To whom he does not belong' means it is the result of adultery, but the woman ascribes it to her husband.
2. 'She has nothing to do with Allāh': The meaning is that it is a great sin, it could become the cause of one's deprivation of Allāh's mercy. Or it could be the explanation of the sentence that follows: 'Allāh will not admit her into Paradise'.
3. 'When he is looking at him': It could be 'when the man is looking at the child, thinking: "This is my child!"
