Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Regarding the Verse: “And among men is he who worships Allah’s as it were on the very edge.”
(22.11).
A man used to come to Medina as if his wife brought a son and his mares produces offspring. He
would say, “This religion (Islam) is good,” but if his wife did not give birth to a child and his mares
produced no offspring, he would say, “This religion is bad.”

‘These two opponents (believers, and disbelievers) dispute with each other about their Lord.’

‘These two opponents (believers and disbelievers dispute with each other about their Lord,’ (22.19)

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 269:
Narrated Sahl bin Saud:
‘Uwaimir came to ‘Asim bin ‘Adi who was the chief of Bani Ajlan and said, “What do you say about
a man who has found another man with his wife? Should he kill him whereupon you would kill him
(i.e. the husband), or what should he do? Please ask Allah’s Apostle about this matter on my behalf.”
Asim then went to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! (And asked him that question) but Allah’s
Apostle disliked the question,” When ‘Uwaimir asked ‘Asim (about the Prophet’s answer) ‘Asim
replied that Allah’s Apostle disliked such questions and considered it shameful. “Uwaimir then said,
“By Allah, I will not give up asking unless I ask Allah’s Apostle about it.” Uwaimir came (to the Proph –
et ) and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! A man has found another man with his wife! Should he kill him
whereupon you would kill him (the husband, in Qisas) or what should he do?” Allah’s Apostle said,
“Allah has revealed regarding you and your wife’s case in the Qur’an “So Allah’s Apostle ordered
them to perform the measures of Mula’ana according to what Allah had mentioned in His Book. So
‘Uwaimir did Mula’ana with her and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! If I kept her I would oppress her.” So
‘Uwaimir divorced her and so divorce became a tradition after them for those who happened to be
involved in a case of Mula’ana. Allah’s Apostle then said, “Look! If she (Uwaimir’s wife) delivers a
black child with deep black large eyes, big hips and fat legs, then I will be of the opinion that
‘Uwaimir has spoken the truth; but if she delivers a red child looking like a Wahra then we will con –
sider that ‘Uwaimir has told a lie against her.” Later on she delivered a child carrying the qualities
which Allah’s Apostle had mentioned as a proof for ‘Uwaimir’s claim; therefore the child was
ascribed to its mother henceforth.

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 270:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Suppose a man saw another man with
his wife, should he kill him whereupon you might kill him (i.e. the killer) (in Qisas) or what should
he do?” So Allah revealed concerning their case what is mentioned of the order of Mula’ana. Allah’s
Apostle said to the man, “The matter between you and your wife has been decided.” So they did Mu –
la’ana in the presence of Allah’s Apostle and I was present there, and then the man divorced his wife.
So it became a tradition to dissolve the marriage of those spouses who were involved in a case of
Mula’ana. The woman was pregnant and the husband denied that he was the cause of her preg –
nancy, so the son was (later) ascribed to her. Then it became a tradition that such a son would be the
heir of his mother, and she would inherit of him what Allah prescribed for her.
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 271:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Hilal bin Umaiya accused his wife of committing illegal sexual intercourse with Sharik bin Sahma’
and filed the case before the Prophet. The Prophet said (to Hilal), “Either you bring forth a proof (four
witnesses) or you will receive the legal punishment (lashes) on your back.” Hilal said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! If anyone of us saw a man over his wife, would he go to seek after witnesses?” The Prophet
kept on saying, “Either you bring forth the witnesses or you will receive the legal punishment (lashes)
on your back.” Hilal then said, “By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I am telling the truth and Allah
will reveal to you what will save my back from legal punishment.” Then Gabriel came down and re –
vealed to him:–
‘As for those who accuse their wives…’ (24.6-9) The Prophet recited it till he reached: ‘… (her ac –
cuser) is telling the truth.’ Then the Prophet left and sent for the woman, and Hilal went (and
brought) her and then took the oaths (confirming the claim). The Prophet was saying, “Allah knows
that one of you is a liar, so will any of you repent?” Then the woman got up and took the oaths and
when she was going to take the fifth one, the people stopped her and said, “It (the fifth oath) will def –
initely bring Allah’s curse on you (if you are guilty).” So she hesitated and recoiled (from taking the
oath) so much that we thought that she would withdraw her denial. But then she said, “I will not dis –
honor my family all through these days,” and carried on (the process of taking oaths). The Prophet
then said, “Watch her; if she delivers a black-eyed child with big hips and fat shins then it is Sharik
bin Sahma’s child.” Later she delivered a child of that description. So the Prophet said, “If the case was
not settled by Allah’s Law, I would punish her severely.”
