Hadith 1329

أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: أَنَّ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ عُوَيْمِرًا الْعَجْلَانِيَّ جَاءَ إِلَى عَاصِمِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَرَأَيْتَ يَا عَاصِمُ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا يَقْتُلُهُ فَتَقْتُلُونَهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَفْعَلُ؟ سَلْ لِي يَا عَاصِمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ. 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، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ عَاصِمٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ جَاءَهُ عُوَيْمِرٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَاصِمُ، مَاذَا قَالَ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ لِعُوَيْمِرٍ: لَمْ تَأْتِنِي بِخَيْرٍ، قَدْ كَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْأَلَةَ الَّتِي سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْهَا. فَقَالَ عُوَيْمِرٌ: وَاللَّهِ لَا أَنْتَهِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَهُ عَنْهَا، فَأَقْبَلَ عُوَيْمِرٌ حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَسْطَ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَقْتُلُونَهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَفْعَلُ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ وَفِي صَاحِبَتِكَ، فَاذْهَبْ فَأْتِ بِهَا" . فَقَالَ سَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ: فَتَلَاعَنَا وَأَنَا مَعَ النَّاسِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَلَمَّا فَرَغَا مِنْ تَلَاعُنِهِمَا، قَالَ عُوَيْمِرٌ: كَذَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَمْسَكْتُهَا، فَطَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: فَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ سُنَّةَ الْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ.
Sahl bin Sa’d al-Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that ‘Uwaymir al-‘Ajlani (may Allah be pleased with him) came to ‘Asim bin ‘Adi al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: “O ‘Asim! What is your opinion if a man finds another man with his wife and kills him, will you then kill him in retaliation? So what should he do? ‘Asim! Please ask this issue from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for me.” When ‘Asim (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about it, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) disliked these questions, and what he (ﷺ) said in this regard was unpleasant to ‘Asim (may Allah be pleased with him). Then when ‘Asim (may Allah be pleased with him) returned home, ‘Uwaymir (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him and asked: “O ‘Asim! What answer did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) give?” So ‘Asim (may Allah be pleased with him) said to ‘Uwaymir (may Allah be pleased with him): “No good has come to me from you; the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) disliked what you had asked.” ‘Uwaymir said: “By Allah! I will not rest until I ask about this issue.” So ‘Uwaymir (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while he (ﷺ) was sitting among the people, and ‘Uwaymir said: “O Messenger of Allah! If a man finds another man with his wife and kills him, will you then kill him in retaliation? What should he do?” (Upon hearing this) the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Allah has revealed something concerning you and your wife, so go and bring her.” Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Then both (the husband and wife) performed li’an, and I was also present with the people at the time with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). When both finished the li’an, ‘Uwaymir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! If after this I keep her with me, (it would mean) that I am a liar, so he gave his wife three divorces before the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave any command.” Ibn Shihab narrated that then this became the established procedure for those who perform li’an.
