By Allah, I am going to ask the Messenger of Allah about it.' The next day, he went to the Messenger of Allah and asked him, saying: 'If a man finds another man with his wife and speaks of it, you will flog him, and if he kills him you will kill him, but if he keeps quiet, he will be suppressing his rage.'

He and his wife came to the Messenger of Allah iiJ and engaged in Li'ân. The man testified four times by Allah that he was telling the truth, then the fifth time he swore that the curse of Allah would be upon him if he was lying. Then she started to testify, and the Prophet jiJ said to her: 'Stop.' But she insisted and carried on engaging in Li'ân. When they left, he said: 'Perhaps she will give birth to a curly- 3 jJ)) :JU LU iiJ .ii haired black child.' And she did give birth to a curly-haired black L (U child." An-Nur 24:6-7.
