( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي قَالَا: نَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، نَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، نَا عَبْدَةُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ قَالَ:
كُنَّا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لَيْلَةَ جُمُعَةٍ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا فَقَتَلَهُ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ وَإِنْ تَكَلَّمَ جَلَدْتُمُوهُ لَأَذْكُرَنَّ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى آيَاتِ اللِّعَانِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَلَاعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمَا وَقَالَ: لَعَلَّهَا أَنْ تَجِيءَ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ جَعْدًا، قَالَ: فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ جَعْدًا

We were in the mosque on a Thursday night, and a man said: "If a man finds another man with his wife and kills him, you would kill him; and if he speaks out, you would flog him. I will certainly mention this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." So he mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Allah the Exalted revealed the verses of mutual imprecation (liʿān). Then the man came and accused his wife, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had them carry out the mutual imprecation between them. He said: "Perhaps she will bring him forth dark and curly-haired." He said: So she brought him forth dark and curly-haired.
