حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ سَمِعَ عَمْرٌو سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ حِسَابُكُمَا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدُكُمَا كَاذِبٌ لَا سَبِيلَ لَكَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَالِي قَالَ لَا مَالَ لَكَ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَدَقْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَهُوَ بِمَا اسْتَحْلَلْتَ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا وَإِنْ كُنْتَ كَذَبْتَ عَلَيْهَا فَذَاكَ أَبْعَدُ لَكَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4587
'Amr heard Sa'eed ibn Jubayr say: J heard Ibn 'Umar say: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to the two who engaged in li'aan: "Your reckoning is with Allah; one of you is lying. You have no rights over her." He said; O Messenger of Allah, my property (i.e., the dowry I paid)? He said: "You have no right to it. If you are telling the truth about her, then it is in return for having been intimate with her, and if you are lying about her, then you have even less right to it."
