Bayhaqi 15303 — Which husbands may perform li'an and which may not

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عُبَيْدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ الصَّيْدَلَانِيُّ قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ نا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أنا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا يَقُولُ: " أَرْبَعٌ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُنَّ وَبَيْنَ أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ مُلَاعَنَةٌ: النَّصْرَانِيَّةُ تَحْتَ الْمُسْلِمِ، وَالْأَمَةُ تَحْتَ الْعَبْدِ، وَالْأَمَةُ تَحْتَ الْحُرِّ، وَالْحُرَّةُ تَحْتَ الْعَبْدِ " قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَفِي ثُبُوتِ هَذَا مَوْقُوفًا أَيْضًا نَظَرٌ؛ فَرَاوِي الْأَوَّلِ عُمَرُ بْنُ هَارُونَ وَلَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَرَاوِي الثَّانِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ وَهُوَ مَتْرُوكٌ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِي قَالَهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ مِنْ أَنَّهُ مُنْقَطِعٌ فَلَعَلَّهُ نُقِلَ إِلَى الشَّافِعِيِّ كَمَا حَكَاهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَذَلِكَ مُنْقَطِعٌ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَوَاهُ مَرْفُوعًا أَوْ مَوْقُوفًا إِنَّمَا رَوَاهُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ وَذَلِكَ مَوْصُولٌ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ، فَقَدْ سَمَّى بَعْضُهُمْ فِي هَذَا جَدَّهُ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو: وَسَمَاعُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ صَحِيحٌ مِنْ جَدِّهِ عَبْدِ اللهِ لَكِنْ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْإِسْنَادُ إِلَى عَمْرٍو صَحِيحًا، وَلَمْ تَصِحَّ أَسَانِيدُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ إِلَى عَمْرٍو، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Amr bin Shu'ayb narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather, that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: There is no li'an between four kinds of women and their husbands: a Christian woman married to a Muslim, a slave woman married to a slave, a slave woman married to a free man, and a free woman married to a slave.
The authenticity of this even as mawquf (a Companion's statement) is also questionable: the narrator of the first is Umar bin Harun, who is not strong, and the narrator of the second is Yahya bin Abi Unaysah, who is matruk (abandoned). As for al-Shafi'i's statement that it is munqati' (broken), perhaps it reached al-Shafi'i as Amr bin Shu'ayb reported it from Abdullah bin Amr, and that is undoubtedly munqati'; but whoever narrated it marfu' or mawquf narrated it only from Amr, from his father, from his grandfather, and that is connected according to the people of hadith; some of them named his grandfather here, saying: Abdullah bin Amr. The hearing of Shu'ayb bin Muhammad bin Abdullah from his grandfather Abdullah is sound, but the chain up to Amr must be sound, and the chains of this hadith up to Amr are not sound. And Allah knows best.
