Or whatshould he do? O 'Asim, ask theMessenger of Allâh ﷺ about thatfor me." So 'Âsim asked theMessenger of Allâh ﷺ. TheMessenger of Allâh ﷺ did notlike this question, and hecriticized it so much that 'Âsimfelt very upset by what he heardfrom the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ.When 'Âsim went back to hisfamily, 'Uwaimir came to himand said: "O 'Asim, what did theMessenger of Allâh ﷺ say toyou?" 'Âsim said to 'Uwaimir:"You did not bring me any good.The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ didnot like the question that I askedhim." 'Uwaimir said: "By Allâh, Iwill not rest until I ask him aboutit." So 'Uwaimir went to theMessenger of Allâh ﷺ who wasamidst the people, and he said:"O Messenger of Allâh, what doyou think, if a man finds anotherman with his wife, should he kill him and be killed by them in return? Or what should he do?" The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "(Verses) have been revealed concerning you and your wife, so go and bring her." Sahl said: "They engaged in Li'an, and I was among the people who were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. When they had finished, 'Uwaimir said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I would be a liar if I kept her now.' So he divorced her three times before the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ could tell him to do anything." Ibn Shihāb said: "Then that became the practice of those who engage in Li'an."

[3746] 4 - (1493) It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Jubair said: "I was asked about the couple who engage in Li'an, during the governorship of Muṣ'ab - should they be separated?" He said: "I did not know what to say, so I went to the house of Ibn 'Umar in Makkah and I said to the slave: 'Ask for permission for me to enter.' He said: 'He is taking a nap.' But he heard my voice and said: 'Ibn Jubair?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Come in, for by Allāh it can only be some need that has brought you at this hour.' So I went in, and saw him resting on a blanket, reclining on a pillow that was stuffed with palm fibers. I said: 'Abû 'Abdur-Raḥmân, should a couple who engage in Li'ân be separated?' He said: 'Subḥân-Allâh, yes. The first one to ask about this was so-and-so the son of so-and-so. He said: "O Messenger of Allâh, what do you think, if one of us finds his wife committing an immoral action, what should he do? If he speaks, he will be speaking of a serious matter, and if he keeps quiet, he will be keeping quiet about an equally serious matter." The Prophet ﷺ remained silent and did not answer him. Then he came to him after that, and said: "I have been afflicted with what I asked you about." Then Allâh revealed these verses in Sûrat An-Nûr: "And for those who accuse their wives..."[1] He (ﷺ) recited them to him, and exhorted and admonished him, and told him that the punishment in this world was lighter than the punishment in the Hereafter. He said: "No, by the One Who sent you with the truth, I am not lying about her." Then he (ﷺ) called her and exhorted and admonished her, and told her that the punishment in this world was lighter than the punishment in the Hereafter. She said: "No, by the One Who sent you with the truth, he is lying." He told the man to start (the process of Li'ân). So he testified four times, by Allâh, that he was telling the truth, and the fifth time that the curse of Allâh would be upon him if he was lying. Then he (ﷺ) told the woman to testify. She testified four times by Allâh that he was lying, and the fifth time that the wrath of Allâh would be upon her if he was telling the truth. Then he separated them."

By Allāh, I am going to ask the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about it.' The next day, he went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and asked him, saying: 'If a man finds another man with his wife and speaks of it, you will flog him, and if he kills him you will kill him, but if he keeps quiet, he will be suppressing his rage.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'O Allāh, guide us to the ruling,' and he started to supplicate. Then the verse of Li'an was revealed: "And for those who accuse their wives, but have no witnesses except themselves..."[1] Then that man was put to that test before the people. He and his wife came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and engaged in Li'an. The man testified four times by Allāh that he was telling the truth, then the fifth time he swore that the curse of Allāh would be upon him if he was lying. Then she started to testify, and the Prophet ﷺ said to her: 'Stop.' But she insisted and carried on engaging in Li'an. When they left, he said: 'Perhaps she will give birth to a curly-haired black child.' And she did give birth to a curly-haired black child."

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.'"
