Hadith 22856

حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ ، قَالَ : جَاءَهُ عُوَيْمِرٌ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَجْلَانَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا عَاصِمُ ، أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَيَقْتُلُونَهُ ، أَمْ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ ؟ سَلْ لِي يَا عَاصِمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَسَأَلَ عَاصِمٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسَائِلَ وَعَابَهَا ، حَتَّى كَبُرَ عَلَى عَاصِمٍ مَا سَمِعَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : فَطَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : فَكَانَ فِرَاقُهُ إِيَّاهَا سُنَّةً فِي الْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Uwaymir (may Allah be pleased with him) once came to Asim bin Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Ask the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this issue: if a man finds another man with his wife and kills him, will he also be killed in retaliation, or what will be done with him?" Asim (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this issue, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not like this question... Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith and said that before the command of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he had already separated (divorced) his wife, and this became common among those who perform li'an.
