Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Dawood narrates that Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) separated a husband and wife who had performed li'an. The man asked, "What will happen to my wealth?" He replied, "You will not get any wealth." Then the man went to Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) and said, "Have I lost both my wealth and my wife?" He replied, "No." He said, "The person who ordered you to perform li'an has said that you will get nothing." He asked, "Did he really say that?" He replied, "Yes." He said, "I went." Abu Burdah said, "What is he saying?" I said, "What is he saying?" He said, "He says that both his wife and his wealth are gone." I said, "What makes the transgressors commit adultery? He marries a woman, then accuses her, then performs li'an with her, and then takes his wealth back. This matter was written to Hajjaj, and he said, 'He has spoken the truth.'" Then a man came to me, and I thought that Hajjaj had sent him. He said, "Did you say this from your own opinion or did it reach you (from someone)?" I said, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made the same decision regarding the sister of Banu Ajlaan."
