Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan.

7-1 In this, the issue of Li'an is explained, which means that if a man sees his wife committing adultery with another person with his own eyes, of which he himself is an eyewitness, but since for the establishment of the punishment of adultery, the testimony of four male eyewitnesses is necessary, therefore, until he presents three more eyewitnesses along with himself, the punishment of adultery cannot be imposed on his wife. However, after witnessing with his own eyes, it is also impossible for him to tolerate such an immoral wife. Shariah has provided the solution that this person will, in the court or before the authorized ruler, swear by Allah four times that he is truthful in accusing his wife of adultery, that the child or pregnancy is not his. And the fifth time, he will say that if he is lying, then upon him be the curse of Allah.
