Abu Al-Khattab mentioned forms of allusion directed towards another man's wife, including stating: 'I have shamed him, covered his head, put horns upon him, attributed children from another to him, corrupted his marriage bed, and inverted his head.' Regarding these specific expressions, two narrations were mentioned concerning their legal ruling.
