وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ:
أَنَا لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَقَالَ: لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا، فَإِنْ تَكَلَّمَ جَلَدْتُمُوهُ، وَإِنْ قَتَلَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ، وَإِنْ سَكَتَ سَكَتَ عَلَى غَيْظٍ، وَاللهِ لَأَسْأَلَنَّ عَنْهُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ، أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ: لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا فَتَكَلَّمَ جَلَدْتُمُوهُ، أَوْ قَتَلَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ، أَوْ سَكَتَ سَكَتَ عَلَى غَيْظٍ، قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ، وَجَعَلَ يَدْعُو، فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ اللِّعَانِ: وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ إِلا أَنْفُسُهُمْ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتُ، فَابْتُلِيَ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ، فَجَاءَ هُوَ وَامْرَأَتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَتَلَاعَنَا، فَشَهِدَ الرَّجُلُ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللهِ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ، ثُمَّ لَعَنَ الْخَامِسَةَ: أَنَّ لَعْنَةَ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ، فَذَهَبَتْ لِتَلْتَعِنَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَهْ، فَلَعَنَتْ، فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَا، قَالَ: لَعَلَّهَا أَنْ تَجِيءَ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ جَعْدًا، فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ جَعْدًا

Chain of narrators
- ʿAbdullāh
✧ I was in the mosque on the night before Friday when a man from the Ansar entered and said: “If a man were to find another man with his wife—if he speaks, you flog him; if he kills, you kill him; if he remains silent, he remains silent in rage. By God, I will ask the Messenger of God ﷺ about it.” When the next day came, he went to the Messenger of God ﷺ and asked him, saying: “If a man were to find another man with his wife—if he speaks, you flog him; or if he kills, you kill him; or if he remains silent, he remains silent in rage.” He said: “O God, make it clear,” and continued to supplicate. Then the verse of li‘an was revealed: “And those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except themselves…” [Q 24:6] these verses. The man was tested among the people, so he and his wife came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and performed li‘an. The man testified four testimonies by God that he was indeed truthful, then invoked the fifth: that the curse of God be upon him if he was among the liars. She went to swear, and the Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Stop.” She swore. When they turned away, he said: “Perhaps she will bring a black, curly-haired child.” She brought a black, curly-haired child.
