Sahih al-Bukhari 5316

Translation

Those involved in a case of Lian were mentioned before Messenger of Allah ﷺ ʿAsim bin Adi said something about that and then left. Later on a man from his tribe came to him and told him that he had found another man with his wife. On that ʿAsim said, "I have not been put to task except for what I have said (about Lian)." ʿAsim took the man to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he told him of the state in which he found his wife. The man was pale, thin and lank-haired, while the other man whom he had found with his wife was brown, fat with thick calves and curly hair. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Allah! Reveal the truth." Then the lady delivered a child resembling the man whom her husband had mentioned he had found with her. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered them to carry out Lien. A man from that gathering said to Ibn ʿAbbas, "Was she the same lady regarding whom Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If I were to stone to death someone without witnesses, I would have stoned this lady'?" Ibn ʿAbbas said, "No, that was another lady who, though being a Muslim, used to arouse suspicion because of her outright misbehavior."
