A man who falsely accuses his wife of zina with a man and names him
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30771 — A man who falsely accuses his wife
٣٠٧٧١ - حدثنا أبو بكر، قال: حدثنا يزيد بن هارون عن محمد بن سالم عن الشعبي قال: إذا قذف الرجل امرأته برجل (مسمى) (١)، لم يكن عليه لهما إلا حدٌّ واحد، قال: أيهما (أحده) (٢) بحده لم يكن للآخر حد، إن بدأت المرأة ملاعنته لم يضرب للرجل، وإن ضُرب للرجل لم يُلاعن للمرأة﴾ (٣).
Muhammad bin Salim said that al-Sha'bi said: When a man accuses his wife, naming a man, only one prescribed punishment (hadd) is due from him on account of the two of them. He said: Whichever of the two takes him for his punishment, the other has no right to a punishment. If the woman begins, she will perform mutual imprecation (li'an) with her husband, and he is not to be flogged on account of the man; and if he is flogged on account of the man, there is no mutual imprecation with the woman.
