Musnad Abu Ya'la al-Mawsili 152:93

Continuation of the Musnad of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (RA)

تابع مسند عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه

Hadith 152:93

On the authority of Abdullah, he said: I was in the mosque on the night of Jumu'ah when a man from the Ansar entered and said: "If a man were to find a man with his wife, and he spoke, you would flog him; and if he killed him, you would kill him; and if he remained silent, he would remain silent upon rage. By Allah, I will certainly ask the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about this." When the next day came, he went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and asked him, saying: "If a man were to find a man with his wife, and he spoke, you would flog him; or if he killed him, you would kill him; or if he remained silent, he would remain silent upon rage." He (the Prophet) said: "O Allah, grant a way out," and he began to supplicate. Then the verse of Li'an (imprecation) was revealed: "And those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except themselves..." [Surah An-Nur: 6]—these verses. The man was tested with this among the people. He and his wife came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and they performed the Li'an. The man testified four times by Allah that he was indeed truthful, then he invoked the fifth time that the curse of Allah be upon him if he were of the liars. She then went to perform the imprecation, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Wait." But she performed the imprecation. When they turned to leave, he (the Prophet) said: "It is likely that she will bring forth a child who is black and curly-haired." And she did indeed bring forth a child who was black and curly-haired.

وعن عبد الله قال * أنا ليلة الجمعة في المسجد إذ دخل رجل من الأنصار فقال لو أن رجلا وجد مع امرأته رجلا فإن تكلم جلدتموه وإن قتل قتلتموه وإن سكت سكت على غيظ والله لأسألن عنه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فلما كان من الغد أتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فسأله فقال لو أن رجلا وجد مع امرأته رجلا فتكلم جلدتموه أو قتل قتلتموه أو سكت سكت على غيظ قال اللهم افتح وجعل يدعوا فنزلت أية اللعان والذين يرمون أزواجهم ولم يكن لهم شهداء إلا أنفسهم هذه الآيات فابتلي به الرجل بين الناس فجاء هو وامرأته إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فتلاعنا فشهد الرجل أربع شهادات بالله إنه لمن الصادقين ثم لعن الخامسة أن لعنة الله عليه إن كان من الكاذبين فذهبت لتلتعن فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مه فلعنت فلما أدبرا قال لعلها أن تجيء به أسود جعدا فجاءت به أسود جعدا
