وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، وَأَنَا أُرَى أَنَّ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهُ عِلْمًا ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ هِلَالَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ قَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ بِشَرِيكِ ابْنِ سَحْمَاءَ ، وَكَانَ أَخَا الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ لِأُمِّهِ ، وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ رَجُلٍ لَاعَنَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ ، قَالَ : فَلَاعَنَهَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَبْصِرُوهَا ، فَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَبْيَضَ سَبِطًا قَضِيءَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ ، فَهُ وَلِهِلَالِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ ، وَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَكْحَلَ جَعْدًا حَمْشَ السَّاقَيْنِ ، فَهُ وَلِشَرِيكِ ابْنِ سَحْمَاءَ " ، قَالَ : فَأُنْبِئْتُ أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَكْحَلَ جَعْدًا حَمْشَ السَّاقَيْنِ .
Muhammad (one of the narrators) reported: I asked Anas bin Malik (RA) knowing that he had a knowledge of (the case of li'an). He said: Hilal bin Umayya (RA) accused his wife with the charge of fornication with Sharik bin Sahma, the brother of al-Bara'b Malik from the side of his mother. And he was the first person who invoked curse (li'an) in Islam. He in fact invoked curse upon her. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: See to her if she gives birth to a white-complexioned child having dark hair and bright eyes; he must be the son of Hilal bin Umayya; and if she gives birth to a child with dark eyelids, curly hair and lean shanks, he must be the offspring of Sharik bin Sahma. He said: I was informed that she gave birth to a child having dark eyelids, curly hair and lean shanks.
