حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ : لَاعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْ بَنِي عَجْلَانَ ، أَوْ بَيْنَ رَجُلٍ وَامْرَأَةٍ ، شَكَّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ : فَقَالَ زَوْجُهَا : وَاللهِ مَا قَرَبْتُهَا مُنْذُ عَفَرْنَا ، وَالْعَفْرُ : أَنْ يُسْقَى النَّخْلُ بَعْدَ أَنْ يُتْرَكَ مِنَ السَّقْيِ بَعْدَ الْإِبَارِ بِشَهْرَيْنِ . قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ ، بَيِّنْ . قَالَ : وَكَانَ زَوْجُ الْمَرْأَةِ أَصْهَبَ الشَّعَرِ ، حَمْشَ الذِّرَاعَيْنِ وَالسَّاقَيْنِ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ الَّذِي رُمِيَتْ بِهِ ابْنَ السَّحْمَاءِ ، قَالَ : فَجَاءَتْ بِغُلَامٍ أَسْوَدَ ، جَعْدٍ ، قَطَطٍ ، عَبْلِ الذِّرَاعَيْنِ ، خَدَلَّجِ السَّاقَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ شَدَّادٍ : يَا أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ ، أَهِيَ الْمَرْأَةُ الَّتِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : لَوْ كُنْتُ رَاجِمًا أَحَدًا بِغَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ لَرَجَمْتُهَا ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : لَا ، وَقَالَ : تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ كَانَتْ قَدْ أَعْلَنَتْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ : يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ كَيْفَ الصِّفَةُ ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : جَاءَتْ بِهِ عَلَى الْوَصْفِ السَّيِّئِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that "the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) carried out li'an between the two (husband and wife) of Banu Ajlan, or (he said:) between a man and a woman (this doubt is from the narrator Abd al-Rahman). The woman's husband said: By Allah, I have not gone near her since we did 'afr' (and 'afr' means watering the date palms two months after pollination, during which they were kept without water). At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) implored: 'Allahumma bayyin, bayyin' (O Allah, make the truth of the matter clear, make it clear). The narrator says that the woman's husband had reddish hair and thin forearms and shins, while the man with whom the woman was accused was Ibn al-Sahma'; and the woman gave birth to a black child with very tightly curled hair and full, strong forearms and shins. At this Ibn Shaddad (may Allah have mercy on him) asked: O Abu al-Abbas, is this the woman about whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'If I were to stone anyone without firm evidence, I would have stoned her'? Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) replied: 'No, that was a woman who had made her immorality public in the time of Islam.' Then another man asked: O Abu al-Abbas, what were the features? Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: 'She brought a child of that bad description and resemblance (that had been feared).'"
