Sahih Muslim Book - 19, Hadith - 3758

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ وَعِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمِصْرِيَّانِ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ رُمْحٍ - قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ذُكِرَ التَّلاَعُنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَدِىٍّ فِى ذَلِكَ قَوْلاً ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ يَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ مَعَ أَهْلِهِ رَجُلاً. فَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ مَا ابْتُلِيتُ بِهَذَا إِلاَّ لِقَوْلِى فَذَهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالَّذِى وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَتَهُ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مُصْفَرًّا قَلِيلَ اللَّحْمِ سَبِطَ الشَّعَرِ وَكَانَ الَّذِى ادَّعَى عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ خَدْلاً آدَمَ كَثِيرَ اللَّحْمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ ». فَوَضَعَتْ شَبِيهًا بِالرَّجُلِ الَّذِى ذَكَرَ زَوْجُهَا أَنَّهُ وَجَدَهُ عِنْدَهَا فَلاَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بَيْنَهُمَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِى الْمَجْلِسِ أَهِىَ الَّتِى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « لَوْ رَجَمْتُ أَحَدًا بِغَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ رَجَمْتُ هَذِهِ ». فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لاَ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ كَانَتْ تُظْهِرُ فِى الإِسْلاَمِ السُّوءَ.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "Mention of Li'an was made in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). 'Asim bin 'Adiyy said something about that, then he left. A man from among his people came to him and complained that he had found a man with his wife. 'Asim said: 'I am being tested with what I said.' He took him to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and told him what he had found his wife doing. That man was sallow and lean, with straight hair, and the one whom he claimed to have found with his wife had fleshy calves and was dark and bulky. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'O Allah, make it clear.' Then she gave birth to a child who resembled the one who her husband said he found with her. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) made them engage in Li'an." A man said to Ibn 'Abbas in that gathering: "Was she the one about whom the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'If I were to have stoned anyone without evidence, I would have stoned this woman?' Ibn 'Abbas said: 'No, that was a woman who continued to be a bad woman after becoming Muslim."'
