    Sahl bin Sa’ad Al Sa’idi said that ‘Uwaimir bin Ashqar Al Ajilani came to ‘Asim bin Adl and said to him “Asim tell me about a man who finds a man along with his wife. Should he kill him and then be killed by you, or how should he act? Ask the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ ‘Asim, for me about it. ‘Asim then asked the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ about it. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ disliked the question and denounced it. What ‘Asim heard from the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ fell heavy on him. When ‘Asim returned to his family ‘Uwaimr came to him and asked ‘Asim “What did the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ say to you”? Asim replied “You did not do good to me”. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ disliked the question that I asked him. Thereupon ‘Uwaimir said “I swear by Allaah, I shall not leave until I ask him about it. So, ‘Uwaimir came to the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ while he was sitting in the midst of the people.” He said “Apostle of Allaah ﷺ tell me about a man who finds a man along with his wife. Should he kill him and then be killed by you, or how should he act?” The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “A revelation has been sent down about you and your wife so go away and bring her. Sahl said “So we cursed one another while I was along with the people who were with the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ. Then when they finished, ‘Umamir said “I shall have lied against her, Apostle of Allaah ﷺ if I keep her. He pronounced her divorce three times before the Apostle of Allaah ﷺcommanded him (to do so). Ibn Shihab said “Then this became the method of invoking curses.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2245)

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Actions are but by intentions, and every person shall have what he intended. Whoever emigrated for Allah and His Messenger, his emigration was for Allah and His Messenger.

She came to Aisha, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came at that moment. She told her what her owners had said, and she said, “No, by Allah, not unless the wala belongs to me.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “What is this?” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, Barirah came to me seeking help with her kitabah, and I said, ‘No, unless they agree that I pay them the full sum in one payment and the wala belongs to me.’ She mentioned that to her owners, and they refused unless the wala belonged to them.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Buy her and stipulate the wala for them, for the wala belongs to the one who frees.” Then he stood and addressed the people, praising and extolling Allah, then said, “What is the matter with people who stipulate conditions that are not in the Book of Allah, saying, ‘Free so-and-so and the wala belongs to me’? The Book of Allah is more deserving, and the condition of Allah is more binding. Any condition not in the Book of Allah is void, even if it is a hundred conditions.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then gave her a choice regarding her husband, who was a slave, and she chose herself.

    ✧ O Asim, do you think if a man saw a man with his wife and killed him, would you kill him? Or how should he act, O Asim? Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about this for me. So Asim asked the Prophet ﷺ about this, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disapproved of such questions and disliked them. Then Uwaymir came to him and said: What did you do, O Asim? He said: I did not bring you any good; the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked such questions and disapproved of them. Uwaymir said: By Allah, I will ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. He went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'It has been revealed concerning you and your wife, so bring her.' Sahl said: I was with the people near the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He brought her, and they invoked mutual curses. He said: O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, if I keep her, I will have lied about her. So he separated from her before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to separate from her, and that became the sunna for the two who invoke curses.

    ✧ Hilal b. Umayya accused Sharik b. al-Sahma of adultery with his wife. He came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him that, and the Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'Four witnesses, otherwise a hadd punishment on your back,' repeating that to him several times. Hilal said to him: By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, Allah knows that I am truthful, and Allah will surely reveal to you what will absolve my back from the hadd. While they were thus, the verse of li'an descended upon him: {And those who accuse their wives} [al-Nur 6] to the end of the verses. Hilal was called and he testified four times by Allah that he was truthful, and the fifth that the curse of Allah be upon him if he was among the liars. Then the woman was called and she testified four times by Allah that he was among the liars. When it came to the fourth or the fifth, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Stop her, for it is binding.' She hesitated until we had no doubt that she would confess, then she said: I will not disgrace my people for the rest of the day. She proceeded with the oath. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Observe her. If she gives birth to a child who is white, with lank hair, and weak eyes, then it is for Hilal b. Umayya; but if she gives birth to one who is dark, with curly hair, of medium build, and thin shanks, then it is for Sharik b. Sahma.' She gave birth to one who was dark, with curly hair, of medium build, and thin shanks. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Were it not for what has preceded in the Book of Allah, I would have had a matter with her.' Al-qadi' al-'aynayn means long eyelashes, not open-eyed nor protruding-eyed.

    ✧ The mutual cursing took place in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Asim b. Adi said something about that, then left. A man from his people came to him complaining that he had found a man with his wife. Asim said: I was only afflicted with this because of my words. So he took him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him what he had found with his wife. That man was yellowish, with little flesh, and lank hair, while the one he accused of being found with his wife was dark, thick-calved, and fleshy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Allah, make it clear.' She gave birth to a child resembling the man whom her husband mentioned finding with her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ conducted the cursing between them. A man said to Ibn Abbas in the gathering: Is she the one about whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If I were to stone anyone without proof, I would stone this woman'? Ibn Abbas said: No, that was a woman who openly displayed evil in Islam.

    ✧ O Messenger of Allah, what do you think, and Amr did not say 'what do you think,' about a man among us who sees lewdness with his wife: if he speaks, it is a grave matter—Amr said: he has come with a grave matter—and if he remains silent, he remains silent over the like of that. He did not answer him. Later he came to him and said: The matter I asked you about has befallen me. Then Allah revealed these verses in Surat al-Nur: {And those who accuse their wives} [al-Nur 6] until reaching {and the fifth that the wrath of Allah be upon her if he is among the truthful} [al-Nur 9]. He began with the man, admonished him, reminded him, and told him that the punishment of this world is lighter than the punishment of the Hereafter. He said: By the One who sent you with the truth, I have not lied. Then he turned to the woman, admonished her and reminded her, and she said: By the One who sent you with the truth, he is a liar. He began with the man, and he testified four times by Allah that he was among the truthful, and the fifth that the curse of Allah be upon him if he was among the liars. Then he turned to the woman, and she testified four times by Allah that he was among the liars, and the fifth that the wrath of Allah be upon her if he was among the truthful. Then he separated between them.

Jaḥsh when her brother died. She called for perfume and touched some of it, then said: “By Allah, I have no need of perfume, except that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say on the pulpit: ‘It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn a deceased person for more than three nights, except for a husband, four months and ten days.’” Zaynab also said: I heard Umm Salamah say: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allah, my daughter’s husband has died and she is suffering from an eye ailment. May I apply kohl to her eyes?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “No.” Then he said: “It is only four months and ten days. In the pre-Islamic era, one of you would throw a piece of dung at the end of a year.” Ḥumayd said: I asked Zaynab, “What does throwing a piece of dung at the end of the year mean?” Zaynab said: “In the pre-Islamic era, when a woman’s husband died, she would enter a small tent, wear her worst clothes, and not touch perfume or anything until a year passed. Then she would be brought a donkey, a sheep, or a bird, and she would wipe herself with it. She rarely wiped herself with anything without it dying. Then she would come out and be given a piece of dung, which she would throw. After that she could resume whatever she wished of perfume or anything else.” Mālik said: “She would wipe herself with it” means she would rub herself with it. In the ḥadīth of Muḥammad, Mālik said: “al-ḥifsh is a small hut.”

     فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {§مَا نَنْسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنْسِهَا نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْهَا أَوْ مِثْلِهَا} [البقرة 106] وَقَالَ {وَإِذَا بَدَّلْنَا آيَةً مَكَانَ آيَةٍ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ} [النحل 101] الْآيَةَ وَقَالَ تَعَالَى {يَمْحُو اللهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ وَعِنْدَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ} [الرعد 39] فَأَوَّلُ مَا نُسِخَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ الْقِبْلَةُ وَقَالَ تَعَالَى {وَالْمُطَلَّقَاتُ يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُوءٍ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَهُنَّ أَنْ يَكْتُمْنَ مَا خَلَقَ اللهُ فِي أَرْحَامِهِنَّ} [البقرة 228] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {إِنْ أَرَادُوا إِصْلَاحًا} [البقرة 228] وَذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ كَانَ إِذَا طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِرَجْعَتِهَا وَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَنَسَخَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ {الطَّلَاقُ مَرَّتَانِ فَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ} [البقرة 229]

     "Whatever a Verse do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a better one or similar to it." and "And when We change a Verse in place of another -and Allah knows best what He sends down" (Al-Nahl 16:101) and "Allah blots out what He wills and confirms (what He wills). And with Him is the Mother of the Book." The first thing that was abrogated in the Qur'an was the Qiblah. And He said: "And divorced women shall wait (as regards their marriage) for three menstrual periods, and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs, if they believe in Allah and the Last Day." "And their husbands have better right to take them back in that period, if they wish for reconciliation." -that is because when a man divorced his wife, he had more right to take her back, even if he had divorced her three times. Then (Allah) abrogated that and said: "The divorce is twice, after that, either you retain her on reasonable terms or release her with kindness." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3554)
