Hadith 7165

وَلَاعَنَ عُمَرُ عِنْدَ مِنْبَرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَضَى شُرَيْحٌ ، وَالشَّعْبِيُّ ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْمَرَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، وَقَضَى مَرْوَانُ عَلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ بِالْيَمِينِ عِنْدَ الْمِنْبَرِ وَكَانَ الْحَسَنُ ، وَزُرَارَةُ بْنُ أَوْفَى يَقْضِيَانِ فِي الرَّحَبَةِ خَارِجًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ
And ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had the procedure of li‘an (mutual cursing) carried out beside the pulpit of the Prophet’s Mosque, and Shurayh the judge, al-Sha‘bi, and Yahya ibn Ya‘mur passed judgments in the mosque, and Marwan ordered Zayd ibn Thabit to take an oath beside the pulpit of the Prophet in the mosque. And Imam Hasan al-Basri and Zurara ibn Awfa used to sit in a portico outside the mosque to carry out judicial work. In the narration of Ibn Abi Shaybah, it is mentioned that they used to pass judgments while sitting inside the mosque itself.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : " شَهِدْتُ الْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ وَأَنَا ابْنُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً وَفُرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا " .
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: I witnessed a husband and a wife who were involved in a case of Lian. Then (the judgment of) divorce was passed. I was fifteen years of age, at that time.
