Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5161 — We were sitting in the mosque on the night
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : أَنَا لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَقَالَ : لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا ، فَإِنْ تَكَلَّمَ جَلَدْتُمُوهُ ، وَإِنْ قَتَلَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ ، وَإِنْ سَكَتَ سَكَتَ عَلَى غَيْظٍ ، وَاللهِ لَأَسْأَلَنَّ عَنْهُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ ، أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ : لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا فَتَكَلَّمَ جَلَدْتُمُوهُ ، أَوْ قَتَلَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ ، أَوْ سَكَتَ سَكَتَ عَلَى غَيْظٍ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ ، وَجَعَلَ يَدْعُو ، فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ اللِّعَانِ : وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ إِلا أَنْفُسُهُمْ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتُ ، فَابْتُلِيَ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ، فَجَاءَ هُوَ وَامْرَأَتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَتَلَاعَنَا ، فَشَهِدَ الرَّجُلُ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللهِ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ، ثُمَّ لَعَنَ الْخَامِسَةَ : أَنَّ لَعْنَةَ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ ، فَذَهَبَتْ لِتَلْتَعِنَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَهْ ، فَلَعَنَتْ ، فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَا ، قَالَ : لَعَلَّهَا أَنْ تَجِيءَ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ جَعْدًا ، فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ جَعْدًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): We were sitting in the mosque on the night of Friday when suddenly a man from the Ansar came in and said: "If a man finds another man with his wife, then if he speaks of it, you will flog him (for slander); if he kills him, you will kill him (in retaliation); and if he stays silent, he will stay silent in a state of intense rage. By Allah, I will certainly ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this." So when the next day came, he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "If a man finds a stranger with his wife, then if he opens his mouth, you will flog him; or if he kills, you will kill him; or he stays silent with rage?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said in supplication: 'Allahumma iftah' (O Allah, give a decision in this matter), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) kept on supplicating until these verses of li'an (mutual cursing) were revealed: "And those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except themselves," to the end of the verses. Then that man himself was put to this very trial before the people. So he and his wife came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the two of them invoked curses on each other (performed li'an). The man testified four times, swearing by Allah, that he was certainly among the truthful, then the fifth time he said that the curse of Allah be upon him if he was a liar. Then when the woman was about to perform li'an, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) warned her, saying: "Mah" (Stop, and fear the consequence). But she too performed li'an. When the two of them turned away, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Perhaps this woman will give birth to a black child with curly hair." And indeed she gave birth to just such a black, curly-haired child.
