حديث سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، أَنَّ عُوَيْمِرًا الْعَجْلَانِيَّ جَاءَ إِلَى عَاصِمِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا عَاصِمُ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَقْتُلُونَهُ، أَمْ كَيْفَ يَفْعَلُ سَلْ لِي يَا عَاصِمُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ؛ فَسَأَلَ عَاصِمٌ عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَسَائِلَ وَعَابَهَا، حَتَّى كَبُرَ عَلَى عَاصِمٍ مَا سَمِعَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ عَاصِمٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ، جَاءَ عُوَيْمِرٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَاصِمُ مَاذَا قَالَ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ: لَمْ تَأْتِنِي بِخَيْرٍ، قَدْ كَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَسْئَلَةَ الَّتِي سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهَا قَالَ عُوَيْمِرٌ: وَاللهِ لَا أَنْتَهِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَهُ عَنْهَا فَأَقْبَلَ عُوَيْمِرٌ حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَسْطَ النَّاس فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَقْتُلُونَهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَفْعَلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ فِيكَ وَفِي صَاحِبَتِكَ، فَاذْهَبْ فَأْتِ بِهَاقَالَ سَهْلٌ: فَتَلَاعَنَا، وَأَنَا مَعَ النَّاسِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَا قَالَ عُوَيْمِرٌ: كَذَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ أَمْسَكْتُهَا؛ فَطَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ.
'Uwaimir Al-'Ajlânî came to 'Âsim bin 'Adi Al-Ansârî and asked, "O 'Âsim! Tell me, if a man sees his wife with another man, would he kill him, whereupon you would kill him in Qisâs [1] , or what should he do? O 'Âsim! Please ask Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم about that." 'Âsim asked Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم about that. Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم disliked that question and considered it disgraceful. What 'Âsim had heard from Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم was hard on him.When he returned to his family, 'Uwaimir came to him and said, "O 'Âsim! What did Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم say to you?" 'Âsim said, "You never bring me any good. Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم disliked to hear the problem which I asked him about." 'Uwaimir said, "By Allâh, I will not leave the matter till I ask him about it."So 'Uwaimir proceeded till he came to Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم who was in the midst of the people and said, "O Allâh's Messenger! If a man finds with his wife another man, should he kill him, whereupon you would kill him (in Qisâs ), or otherwise, what should he do?" Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allâh has revealed something concerning the question of you and your wife. Go and bring her here."So they both carried out the judgment of Li'ân , while I was present among the people (as a witness). When both of them had finished, 'Uwaimir said, "O Allâh's Messenger! If I should now keep my wife with me, then I have told a lie." Then he pronounced his decision to divorce her thrice, before Allâh's Messenger ﷺ ordered him to do so. (Ibn Shihâb said, "That was the tradition for all those who are involved in a case of Li'ân .") ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 185, Vol. 7 )

حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، قَالَ لِلْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ: حِسَابُكُمَا عَلَى اللهِ، أَحَدُكُمَا كَاذِبٌ، لَا سَبِيلَ لَكَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَالِي قَالَ: لَا مَالَ لَكَ، إِنْ كُنْتَ صَدَقْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَهُوَ بِمَا اسْتَحْلَلْتَ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ كَذَبْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَذَاكَ أَبْعَدُ، وَأَبْعَدُ لَكَ مِنْهَا.
The Prophet ﷺ said to those who were involved in a case of Li'ân , "Your accounts are with Allâh. One of you two is a liar. You (husband) have right on her (wife)." The husband said, "My money, O Allâh's Messenger!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "You are not entitled to take back any money. If you have told the truth, the Mahr that you paid, was for consummation of your marriage; and if you are a liar, then you are less entitled to get it back." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 262, Vol. 7 )
حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَاعَنَ بَيْنَ رَجُلٍ وَامْرَأَتِهِ، فَانْتَفَى مِنْ وَلَدِهَا، فَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا، وَأَلْحَقَ الْوَلَدَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ.
The Prophet ﷺ made a man and his wife carry out Li'ân, and the husband repudiated her child. So the Prophet ﷺ got them separated (by divorce) and decided that the child will catch up with (belong to) the mother only. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 235, Vol. 7 )
حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ ذُكِرَ التَّلَاعُنُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ فِي ذَلِكَ قَوْلًا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ يَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا، فَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ: مَا ابْتُلِيتُ بِهذَا إِلَاّ لِقَوْلِي فَذَهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالَّذِي وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَتَهُ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مُصْفَرًّا، قَلِيلَ اللَّحْمِ، سَبْطَ الشَّعَرِ؛ وَكَانَ الَّذِي ادَّعَى عَلَيْهِ، أَنَّهُ وَجَدَهُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ، خَدْلًا، آدَمَ، كَثِيرَ اللَّحْمِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: اللهُمَّ بَيِّنْ فَجَاءَتْ شَبِيهًا بِالرَّجُلِ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ زَوْجُهَا أَنَّهُ وَجَدَهُ، فَلَاعَنَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمَاقَالَ رَجُلٌ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي الْمَجْلِسِ: هِيَ الَّتِي قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَوْ رَجَمْتُ أَحَدًا بِغَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ رَجَمْتُ هذِهِ فَقَالَ: لَا، تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ كَانَتْ تُظْهِرُ فِي الإِسْلَامِ السُّوءَ.
Once Li'ân was mentioned before the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم whereupon 'Âsim bin 'Adi said something and went away. Then a man from his tribe came to him, complaining that he had found a man with his wife. 'Âsim said, 'I have not been put to task except for my statement (about Li'ân).'Âsim took the man to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the man told him of the state in which he had found his wife. The man was pale, thin, and of lank hair, while the other man whom he claimed he had seen with his wife, was brown, fat and had much flesh on his calves. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم invoked, saying, 'O Allâh! Reveal the truth.' So that the lady delivered a child resembling the man whom her husband had mentioned he had found her with. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم then made them carry out Li'ân.Then a man from that gathering asked Ibn 'Abbâs, "Was she the same lady regarding which the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had said, 'If I were to stone to death someone without witness, I would have stoned this lady?'" Ibn 'Abbâs said, "No, that was another lady who, though being a Muslim, used to arouse suspicion by her outright misbehaviour." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 230, Vol. 7)
حديث الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ سَعْد ابْنُ عُبَادَةَ: لَوْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مَعَ امْرَأَتِي لَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ غَيْرَ مُصْفَحٍ فَبَلَغَ ذلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: تَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ غَيْرَةِ سَعْدٍ وَاللهِ لأَنَا أَغْيَرُ مِنْهُ، وَاللهُ أَغْيَرُ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أَجْلِ غَيْرَةِ اللهِ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ؛ وَلَا أَحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْعُذْرُ مِنَ اللهِ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِك بَعَثَ الْمُبَشِّرِينَ وَالْمُنْذِرِينَ؛ وَلَا أَحَدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْمَدْحَةُ مِنَ اللهِ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ وَعَدَ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ.
Sa'd bin 'Ubâda said, "If I saw a man with my wife, I would strike him (behead him) with the blade of my sword." This news reached Allâh's Messenger ﷺ who then said, "Your people are astonished at Sa'd's Ghîra. [1] By Allâh, I have more Ghîra than him, and Allâh has more Ghîra than me, and because of Allâh's Ghîra, He has made unlawful shameful deeds and sins (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) done in open and in secret.And, there is none who likes that the people should repent to Him and beg His pardon than Allâh, and for this reason He sent the warners and the Mubashshirîn (givers of glad tidings). And there is none who likes to be praised more than Allâh does, and for this reason, Allâh promised to grant Paradise (to the doers of good)." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 512, Vol. 9)

حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وُلِدَ لِي غُلَامٌ أَسْوَدُ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ إِبِلٍ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: مَا أَلْوَانَهَا قَالَ: حُمْرٌ قَالَ: هَلْ فِيهَا مِنْ أَوْرَقَ قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: فَأَنَّى ذَلِكَ قَالَ: لَعَلَّهُ نَزَعَهُ عِرْقٌ قَالَ: فَلَعَلَّ ابْنكَ هذَا نَزَعَهُ.
A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allâh's Messenger! A black child has been born for me." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Have you got camels?" The man said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "What colour are they?" The man replied, "Red." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Is there a grey one among them?" The man replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whence comes that?" He said, "May be it is because of heredity." The Prophet ﷺ said, "May be your (latest) son has this colour because of heredity." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 225, Vol. 7)
