Sahih al-Bukhari 6856

Translation

Lian was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet, ʿAsim bin Adi said a statement about it, and when he left, a man from his tribe came to him complaining that he had seen a man with his wife. ʿAsim said, "I have been put to trial only because of my statement." So he took the man to the Prophet ﷺ and the man told him about the incident. The man (husband) was of yellow complexion, thin, and of lank hair, while the man whom he had accused of having been with his wife, was reddish brown with fat thick legs and fat body. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah! Reveal the truth." Later on the lady delivered a child resembling the man whom the husband had accused of having been with her. So the Prophet ﷺ made them take the oath of Lian. A man said to Ibn ʿAbbas in the gathering, "Was that the same lady about whom the Prophet ﷺ said, "If I were to stone any lady (for committing illegal sexual intercourse) to death without witnesses, I would have stoned that lade to death?" Ibn ʿAbbas said, "No, that was another lady who used to behave in such a suspicious way among the Muslims that one might accuse her of committing illegal sexual intercourse."
