The Musnad of Ibn Abbas (RA)

أول مسند بن عباس

Hadith 110:97

Muhammad ibn Bakkar narrated to us, Ibn Abi al-Zinad narrated to us, from his father, from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, who said: I heard Ibn Abbas say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed the *li'an* (oath of condemnation) between the two brothers of Banu 'Ajlan, or between a man and a woman—'Abd al-Rahman was in doubt. He said: Her husband said, "By Allah, I have not approached her since we *'afarna*." And *'afr* is when the palm trees are watered after being left without water for two months after the wells. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "O Allah, clarify, clarify." He said: The woman's husband was reddish-haired, with thin arms and shins. He said: The one she was accused with was Ibn al-Sahma'. He said: She came with a black boy, with curly, knotted hair, thick arms, and fleshy shins. Ibn Shaddad said: "O Abu al-Abbas, is she the woman about whom the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, 'If I were to stone anyone without evidence, I would have stoned her'?" Ibn Abbas said: "No. That was a woman who had committed open indecency in Islam." Another man said: "O Abu al-Abbas, what was the description?" Ibn Abbas said: "She brought him forth according to the evil description."

حدثنا محمد بن بكار حدثنا بن أبي الزناد عن أبيه عن القاسم بن محمد قال سمعت بن عباس * يقول لاعن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بين أخوي بني عجلان أو بين رجل وامرأة شك عبد الرحمن قال فقال زوجها والله ما قربتها منذ عفرنا والعفر أن يسقى النخل بعد أن يترك من السقي بعد الآبار بشهرين قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اللهم بين بين قال وكان زوج المرأة أصهب الشعر حمش الذراعين والساقين قال وكان الذي رميت به بن السحماء قال فجاءت بغلام أسود جعد قطط عبل الذراعين خدلج الساقين فقال بن شداد يا أبا العباس أهي المرأة التي قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لو كنت راجما أحدا بغير بينة لرجمتها قال فقال بن عباس لا وقال تلك امرأة كانت قد أعلنت في الإسلام قال رجل آخر يا أبا عباس كيف الصفة فقال بن عباس جاءت به على الوصف السيئ
