Hadith 756
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، قَالَ : ثنا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، قَالَ : ثني الزُّهْرِيُّ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، أَنَّ عُوَيْمِرًا أَتَى عَاصِمَ بْنَ عَدِيٍّ ، فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَ : فَلاعَنَهَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنْ حَبَسْتَهَا فَقَدْ ظَلَمْتَهَا " قَالَ : فَطَلَّقَهَا ، فَكَانَ بَعْدُ سُنَّةً لِمَنْ كَانَ بَعْدَهُمَا مِنَ الْمُتَلاعِنِينَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " انْظُرُوا فَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَسْحَمَ أَدْعَجَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ عَظِيمَ الأَلْيَتَيْنِ خَدَلَّجَ السَّاقَيْنِ ، فَلا أَحْسَبُ عُوَيْمِرًا إِلا وَقَدْ صَدَقَ ، وَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أُحَيْمِرَ كَأَنَّهُ وَحَرَةٌ فَلا أَحْسَبُ عُوَيْمِرًا إِلا وَقَدْ كَذَبَ " قَالَ : فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ عَلَى النَّعْتِ الَّذِي نَعَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ تَصْدِيقِ عُوَيْمِرٍ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ يُنْسَبُ بَعْدُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ .
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that ‘Uwaymir came to ‘Asim bin ‘Adi (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned part of the hadith, and says: He (‘Uwaymir) performed li‘an (mutual cursing) with his wife, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If (now) you keep her in your marriage, then you will be unjust to her. So he divorced her, and after that, this became the established practice for everyone who performed li‘an. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: See, if she gives birth to a child who is dark-skinned, with intensely black eyes, broad hips, and thick shins, then I will consider ‘Uwaymir truthful; but if she gives birth to a child who is red-skinned and ugly (short in stature), then I will consider ‘Uwaymir a liar. The narrator says: She gave birth to a child with the characteristics that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had mentioned in confirmation of ‘Uwaymir. Afterwards, that (child) was attributed to his mother.
