Abdullah (bin Masud) said “We were in the mosque on the night of a Friday, suddenly a man from the Ansar entered the mosque”. And said “If a man finds a man along with wife and declares (about her adultery) you will flog him. Or if he kills you, you will kill him or if keeps silence he will keep silence in anger. I swear by Allaah, I shall ask the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم about it”. On the next day he came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and said “If a man finds a man along with wife and declares (about her adultery) you will flog him. Or if he kills you, you will kill him or if keeps silence he will keep silence in anger. ” He said “O Allaah, disclose”. He kept on praying until the verses regarding invoking curses (li’an) came down “As for those who accuse their wives but have no witnesses except themselves. ” So, the man was first involved in this trial among the people. He and his wife came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. They invoked curses on each other. The man bore witness before Allaah four times that the thing he said was indeed true. He then invoked curse of Allaah on him for the fifth time if he was a liar. She then wanted to invoke curses of Allaah on him. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said “Do not do that. Bust she refused and did so (i. e., invoked curses). When they returned he said “Perhaps she will give birth to a black child with curly hair.

عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ   میں ( ایک دفعہ ) جمعہ کی رات مسجد میں تھا کہ اچانک انصار کا ایک شخص مسجد میں آیا، اور کہنے لگا: اگر کوئی شخص اپنی بیوی کے ساتھ کسی ( اجنبی ) آدمی کو پا لے اور ( حقیقت حال ) بیان کرے تو تم لوگ اسے کوڑے لگاؤ گے، یا وہ قتل کر دے تو اس کے بدلے میں تم لوگ اسے قتل کر دو گے، اور اگر وہ چپ رہے تو اندر ہی اندر غصہ میں جلے بھنے، اللہ کی قسم، میں اس سلسلہ میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے ضرور دریافت کروں گا، چنانچہ جب دوسرا دن ہوا تو وہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پاس آیا اور اس نے عرض کیا کہ اگر کوئی شخص اپنی بیوی کے ساتھ کسی ( اجنبی ) آدمی کو پا لے اور حقیقت حال بیان کرے تو ( تہمت کی حد کے طور پر ) آپ اسے کوڑے لگائیں گے، یا وہ قتل کر دے تو اسے قتل کر دیں گے، یا وہ خاموشی اختیار کر کے اندر ہی غصہ سے جلے بھنے، یہ سن کر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم دعا کرنے لگے: اے اللہ! معاملے کی وضاحت فرما دے ، چنانچہ لعان کی آیت «والذين يرمون أزواجهم ولم يكن لهم شهداء إلا أنفسهم» اور جو لوگ اپنی بیویوں کو تہمت لگاتے ہیں اور ان کے پاس گواہ نہ ہوں ( سورۃ النور: ۶ ) آخر تک نازل ہوئی تو لوگوں میں یہی شخص اس مصیبت میں مبتلا ہوا چنانچہ وہ دونوں میاں بیوی رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت میں حاضر ہوئے اور ان دونوں نے لعان کیا، اس آدمی نے چار بار اللہ کا نام لے کر اپنے سچے ہونے کی گواہی دی، اور پانچویں بار کہا کہ اگر وہ جھوٹا ہو تو اس پر اللہ کی لعنت ہو، پھر عورت لعان کرنے چلی تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: ٹھہرو ، لیکن وہ نہیں مانی اور لعان کر ہی لیا، تو جب وہ دونوں جانے لگے، تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: شاید یہ عورت کالا گھنگرالے بالوں والا بچہ جنم دے چنانچہ اس نے وہ کالا اور گھنگرالے بالوں والا بچہ ہی جنم دیا۔

Ibn Abbas said “Hilal bin Umayyah accused his wife in the presence of Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم of having committed adultery with Sharik bin Sahma’”. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said “Produce evidence or you must receive punishment on your back. ” He said “Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم when one of us sees a man having intercourse with his wife should he go and seek evidence?” But the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم merely said “You must produce evidence or you must receive punishment on your back. ” Hilal then said “By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I am speaking Truly. May Allaah send down something which will free my back from punishment. Then the following Quranic verses were revealed “And those who make charges against their spouses but have no witnesses except themselves” reciting till he reached “one of those who speak the truth”. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then returned and sent for them and they came (to him). Hilal bin Umayyah stood up and testified and the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم was saying “Allaah knows that one of you is lying. Will one of you repent?” Then the woman got up and testified, but when she was about to do it a fifth time saying that Allaah’s anger be upon her if he was one of those who spoke the truth, they said to her “this is the deciding one”. Ibn Abbas said “She then hesitated and drew back so that we thought the she would withdraw (what she said) “Look and see whether she gives birth to a child with eyes looking as if they have antimony in them, wide buttocks and fat legs, if she did. Sharik bin Sahma’ will be its father. She then gave birth to a child of a similar description. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم thereupon said “If it were not for what has already been stated in Allaah’s book I would have dealt severely with her. ” Abu Dawud said “This tradition has been transmitted by the people of Madina alone. They narrated the tradition of Hilal on the authority of Ibn Bashshar. ”

Ibn Abbas said “Hilal bin Umayyah was one of the three persons whose repentance was accepted by Allaah. One night he returned from his land and found a man along with his wife. He witnessed with his eyes and heard with his ears. He did not threaten him till the morning. ” Next day he went to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم in the morning and said Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم “I came to my wife in the night and found a man along with her. I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم disliked what he described and he took it seriously. There upon the following Quranic verse came down “And those who make charges against their spouses but have no witnesses except themselves, let the testimony of one of them. . . . ” When the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came to himself (after the revelation ended) he said “Glad tidings to you Hilal, Allaah the exalted has made ease and a way out for you. ” Hilal said “I expected that from my Lord. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said “Send for her. She then came. ” The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم recited the verses to them and he reminded them and told them that the punishment in the next world was more severe than that in n this world. Hilal said “I swear by Allah I spoke the truth against her. ” She said “He told a lie. ” The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said “Apply the method of invoking curses on one another. Hilal was told “Bear witness. So he bore witness before Allaah four times that he spoke the truth. ” When he was about to utter the fifth time he was told “Hilal fear Allah, for the punishment in this world is easier than that in the next world and this is the deciding one, that will surely cause punishment to you. ” He said “I swear by Allaah. Allah will not punish me for this (act), as He did not cause me to be flogged for this (act). ” So he bore witness a fifth time invoking the curse of Allah on him if he was of those who tell a lie. Then the people said to her, Testify. So she gave testimony before Allaah that he was a liar. When she was going to testify the fifth time she was told “Fear Allah, for the punishment in this world is easier than that in the next world. This is the deciding one that will surely cause punishment to you. ” She hesitated for a moment. And then said “By Allah, I will not disgrace my people. ” So she testified a fifth time invoking the curse of Allah on her if he spoke the truth. Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم separated them from each other and decided that the child will not be attributed to its father. Neither she nor her child will be accused of adultery. He who accuses her or her child will be liable to punishment. He also decided that there will be no dwelling and maintenance for her (from the husband) as they were separated without divorce and death. He then said “If she gives birth to a child with reddish hair, light buttocks, wide belly and light shins he will be the child of Hilal. If she bears a dusky child with curly hair, fat limbs, fat shins and fat buttocks he will be the child of the one who was accused of adultery. She gave birth to a child with curly hair, fat limbs, fat shins and fat buttocks. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said “Had there been no oaths, I would have dealt with her severely. ” Ikrimah said “Later on he became the chief of the tribe of Mudar. He was not attributed to his father. ”

Ibn Umar said “The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said to the spouses who invoked curses on each other. Your reckoning is in Allaah’s hands for one of you is liar there is no way for you to (remarry) her. He then asked Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم what about my property? He replied “There is no property for you. If you have spoken the truth, it is the price for your having had the right to intercourse with her and if you have lied against her it is still more remote for you.

Saad bin Jubair said I asked Ibn Umar A man accused his wife of adultery? He said “The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم separated the brother and the sister of Banu Al ‘Ajilan (i. e., husband and wife). He said Allaah knows that one of you is a liar, will one of you repent? He repeated these words three times, but they refused. So he separated them from each other.

Ibn Umar said A man invoked curses on his wife (charging her of adultery) during the time of Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and disowned the child. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم therefore separated them and attributed the child to the woman. Abu Dawud said “The words narrated by Malik alone are “and he attributed the child to the woman. ” Abu Dawud said: The words narrated by Malik alone are: and he attributed the child to the woman. Yunus narrated from Al Zuhri on the authority of Sahl bin Saad in the tradition regarding li’an (invoking curses). He disowned her conception hence her child was attributed to her.
