سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2245
Sahl bin Saad Al Saeedi said that ‘Uwaimir bin Ashqar Al Ajilani came to Asim bin Adl and said to him “Asim tell me about a man who finds a man along with his wife. Should he kill him and then be killed by you, or how should he act? Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ Asim, for me about it. Asim then asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked the question and denounced it. What Asim heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell heavy on him. When Asim returned to his family ‘Uwaimr came to him and asked Asim “What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to you”? Asim replied “You did not do good to me”. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked the question that I asked him. Thereupon ‘Uwaimir said “I swear by Allaah, I shall not leave until I ask him about it. So, ‘Uwaimir came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was sitting in the midst of the people. ” He said “Messenger of Allah ﷺ tell me about a man who finds a man along with his wife. Should he kill him and then be killed by you, or how should he act?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “A revelation has been sent down about you and your wife so go away and bring her. Sahl said “So we cursed one another while I was along with the people who were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then when they finished, ‘Umamir said “I shall have lied against her, Messenger of Allah ﷺ if I keep her. He pronounced her divorce three times before the Messenger of Allah ﷺcommanded him (to do so). Ibn Shihab said “Then this became the method of invoking curses. ”
