Hadith 4281

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ عَبْد الله بْنِ أَحْمَد : قَالَ أَبِي : وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ : عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : بَيْنَا نَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ ، إِذْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ : وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ فَتَكَلَّمَ لَيُجْلَدَنَّ ، وَإِنْ قَتَلَهُ لَيُقْتَلَنَّ ، وَلَئِنْ سَكَتَ لَيَسْكُتَنَّ عَلَى غَيْظٍ ، وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ أَصْبَحْتُ ، لَآتِيَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَئِنْ وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا فَتَكَلَّمَ لَيُجْلَدَنَّ ، وَإِنْ قَتَلَهُ لَيُقْتَلَنَّ ، وَإِنْ سَكَتَ لَيَسْكُتَنَّ عَلَى غَيْظٍ ؟ وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ ، اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ ، قَالَ : " فَنَزَلَتْ الْمُلَاعَنَةُ : وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ إِلا أَنْفُسُهُمْ . . . سورة النور آية 6 " الْآيَةَ .
Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once we were sitting in the Prophet's Mosque on a Friday evening when an Ansari said: If any one of us sees a man with his wife and kills him, you kill him in retaliation; if he speaks out, you flog him; and if he remains silent, he does so in anger. By Allah! If I am alive in the morning, I will surely ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this matter. So he asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this issue and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! If any one of us sees a strange man with his wife and kills him, you kill him in retaliation; if he speaks, you flog him; and if he remains silent, he does so in anger? O Allah! Decide between us. Then the verse of Li'an was revealed.
