حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا لَاعَنَ امْرَأَتَهُ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَانْتَفَی مِنْ وَلَدِهَا فَفَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَأَلْحَقَ الْوَلَدَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد الَّذِي تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ مَالِکٌ قَوْلُهُ وَأَلْحَقَ الْوَلَدَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ و قَالَ يُونُسُ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ فِي حَدِيثِ اللِّعَانِ وَأَنْکَرَ حَمْلَهَا فَکَانَ ابْنُهَا يُدْعَی إِلَيْهَا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2259
Ibn Umar said A man invoked curses on his wife (charging her of adultery) during the time of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and disowned the child. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ therefore separated them and attributed the child to the woman. Abu Dawud said “The words narrated by Malik alone are “and he attributed the child to the woman. ”" Abu Dawud said: The words narrated by Malik alone are: "and he attributed the child to the woman. " Yunus narrated from Al Zuhri on the authority of Sahl bin Saad in the tradition regarding li’an (invoking curses). He disowned her conception hence her child was attributed to her.
