حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ خَلَّادٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ کُنَّا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا فَقَتَلَهُ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ وَإِنْ تَکَلَّمَ جَلَدْتُمُوهُ وَاللَّهِ لَأَذْکُرَنَّ ذَلِکَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَکَرَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ آيَاتِ اللِّعَانِ ثُمَّ جَائَ الرَّجُلُ بَعْدَ ذَلِکَ يَقْذِفُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَلَاعَنَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَقَالَ عَسَی أَنْ تَجِيئَ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ فَجَائَتْ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ جَعْدًا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2068
It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "We were in the Masjid one Friday night when a man said: 'If a man finds a man with his wife and kills him, will you kill him, and if he speaks}' will you flog him. By Allah I will mention that to the Prophet P.B.U.H: So he mentioned that to the Prophet P.B.U.H, and Allah revealed the Verses of Li'an. Then after that the man came and accused his wife, so the Prophet P.B.U.H ltold them to go through the procedure of Li'iin and he said: 'Perhaps she will give birth to a black child: Then she gave birth to a black child with curly hair." (Sahih)
