حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ رَجُلٌ لَاعَنَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ فَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْ بَنِي الْعَجْلَانِ وَقَالَ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمَا كَاذِبٌ فَهَلْ مِنْكُمَا تَائِبٌ ثَلَاثًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4945
It was narrated that Sa'eed ibn Jubayr said: I said to Ibn 'Umar: (What if) a man engages in li'aan with his wife? He said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) separated a couple from Banu'l-'Ajlaan and said: "Indeed one of you is lying; will one of you repent?" three times.
