وَقَدْ رُوِيَ فِي قِصَّةِ عُوَيْمِرٍ الْعَجْلَانِيِّ قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ الْقُرْآنَ فِيكَ وَفِي صَاحِبَتِكَ " فَأَمَرَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمُلَاعَنَةِ بِمَا سَمَّى اللهُ تَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ.
In the story of Sayyiduna Uwaymir al-Ajlani (may Allah be pleased with him) it is narrated that (the narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has revealed the Qur'an concerning you and your wife."
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the two of them to perform li'an in the manner that Allah Almighty has set out in His Book.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، نا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، نا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، نا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ فِي قِصَّةِ عُوَيْمِرٍ الْعَجْلَانِيِّ قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ الْقُرْآنَ فِيكَ وَفِي صَاحِبَتِكَ " فَأَمَرَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمُلَاعَنَةِ بِمَا سَمَّى اللهُ تَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْفِرْيَابِيِّ.
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) says about the story of Uwaymir al-Ajlani that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has revealed the Qur'an concerning you and your wife." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded them to perform li'an, which Allah has named in His Book.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ، أنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَعْقِلٍ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُقَدَّمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، وَقَدْ سَمِعَ مِنْهُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَجُلًا رَمَى امْرَأَتَهُ وَانْتَفَى مِنْ وَلَدِهَا فِي زَمَنِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، " فَأَمَرَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَلَاعَنَا كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثُمَّ قَضَى بِالْوَلَدِ لِلْمَرْأَةِ وَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ " أَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ، هَكَذَا.
Nafi' narrates from Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a man accused his wife and denied his child. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded them to perform li'an, and they performed li'an just as Allah, the Lord of Might, had said. He gave judgment that the child belonged to the woman and separated the two who performed li'an.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّزَّازُ نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُنَادِي، نا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، نا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ: سُئِلْتُ عَنِ الْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ، فِي زَمَنِ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا؟ فَمَا دَرَيْتُ مَا أَقُولُ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقِيلَ هُوَ نَائِمٌ، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتِي فَقَالَ: ابْنُ جُبَيْرٍ، فَأْذَنُوا لَهُ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا جَاءَ بِكَ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ إِلَّا حَاجَةٌ، فَإِذَا هُوَ مُفْتَرِشٌ بَرْذَعَةَ رَحْلِهِ مُتَوَسِّدًا بِوِسَادَةٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ أَوْ سَلَبٌ قَالَ: السَّلَبُ يَعْنِي لِيفَ الْمَقْلِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، الْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا؟ فَقَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، نَعَمْ، إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ سَأَلَ عَنْ هَذَا فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَنَا رَأَى عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ إِنْ تَكَلَّمَ تَكَلَّمَ بِأَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَإِنْ سَكَتَ سَكَتَ عَلَى مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ⦗٦٦٥⦘ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الَّذِي كُنْتُ سَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ قَدِ ابْتُلِيتُ بِهِ قَالَ: فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي فِي سُورَةِ النُّورِ {وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُمْ} [النور: ٦] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَاتِ قَالَ: فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالرَّجُلِ فَتَلَا عَلَيْهِ وَوَعَظَهُ وَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَذَابَ الدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْآخِرَةِ، فَقَالَ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا كَذَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا، قَالَ: ثُمَّ دَعَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ فَتَلَا عَلَيْهَا وَوَعَظَهَا وَذَكَّرَهَا وَأَخْبَرَهَا أَنَّ عَذَابَ الدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْآخِرَةِ، فَقَالَتْ: لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا صَدَقَكَ، لَقَدْ كَذَبَكَ، قَالَ: فَبَدَأَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالرَّجُلِ فَشَهِدَ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللهِ أَنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ وَفِي الْخَامِسَةِ أَنَّ لَعْنَةَ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ، ثُمَّ ثَنَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ فَشَهِدَتْ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللهِ أَنَّهُ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ وَالْخَامِسَةَ أَنَّ غَضَبَ اللهِ عَلَيْهَا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ.
Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: In the time of Mus'ab bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) I was asked about the two who perform li'an: are they to be separated? I did not know what to answer, so I went to the house of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and asked permission to enter, and I was told that he was sleeping. He heard my voice and said: "Give Ibn Jubayr permission." The narrator says: I went in to him, and Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "What has brought you at this hour?" At that time he had spread out the saddle-cloth of his mount and was reclining on a leather pillow stuffed with palm fibre. I said: O Abu Abd al-Rahman! Are the two who perform li'an to be separated? He said: "'Subhan Allah' (Glory be to Allah)! Yes. The first to ask about this was so-and-so son of so-and-so; he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What is your view: if one of us sees a man with his wife, what should he do? If he speaks, he will be speaking of a very grave matter; and if he stays silent, he will be keeping silent over just as grave a matter." The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not answer him. Then, when he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again, he said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The matter I asked you about, I myself have been afflicted with it." Then Allah, the Lord of Might, revealed these verses of Surah al-Nur: "And those who accuse their wives" [Surah al-Nur: 6]. The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called the man, recited these verses to him, admonished him clearly and said: "The punishment of this world is far lighter than the punishment of the Hereafter." He said: By the One who sent you with the truth! I have not lied against her. The narrator says: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called the woman, recited these verses to her as well, admonished her clearly and said: "The punishment of this world is far lighter than the punishment of the Hereafter." She said: By the One who sent you with the truth! This man has lied. The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began with the man: he bore witness four times by Allah (swearing) that he was among the truthful, and in the fifth testimony he said that the curse of Allah be upon him if he was a liar. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to the woman: she bore witness four times by Allah that the man was a liar, and in the fifth testimony she said that the wrath of Allah be upon her if the man was among the truthful. The narrator says: Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) separated the two of them.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنا الشَّافِعِيُّ قَالَ: وَإِنَّمَا أَمَرْتُ بِوَقْفِهِمَا وَتَذْكِيرِهِمَا أَنَّ سُفْيَانَ أنا، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَمَرَ رَجُلًا لَاعَنَ بَيْنَ الْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى فِيهِ عِنْدَ الْخَامِسَةِ وَقَالَ: إِنَّهَا مُوجِبَةٌ " وَاللهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ.
Asim bin Kulayb narrates from his father, and he from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the man conducting the li'an to place his hand over the mouth of the one performing li'an at the fifth oath, and to say: "This (oath) makes the punishment binding."
