باب فِي اللِّعَانِ

English narration

Narrated by عبد الله بن عمر العدوي

Saad bin Jubair said I asked Ibn Umar A man accused his wife of adultery? He said “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ separated the brother and the sister of Banu Al ‘Ajilan (i. e., husband and wife). He said Allaah knows that one of you is a liar, will one of you repent? He repeated these words three times, but they refused. So he separated them from each other.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ : رَجُلٌ قَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ ، قَالَ : فَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْ بَنِي الْعَجْلَانِ ، وَقَالَ : "

اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمَا كَاذِبٌ ، فَهَلْ مِنْكُمَا تَائِبٌ ؟

" يُرَدِّدُهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، فَأَبَيَا فَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا .
