“There is something else in this Hadith which you have not mentioned. It goes thus: The man said,
‘What about my money (i.e. the Mahr that I have given to my wife)?’ It was said, ‘You have no right

money back.’ “)

those who were involved in a case of Lien, ‘Your accounts are with Allah. One of you two is a liar,

property (Mahr) ?’ The Prophet said, ‘You have no right to get back your property. If you have told
the truth about her then your property was for the consummation of your marriage with her; and if
you told a lie about her, then you are less rightful to get your property back.’ ” Sufyan, a sub-narrator
said: I learned the Hadith from ‘Amr. Narrated Aiyub: I heard Sa’id bin Jubair saying, “I asked Ibn
‘Umar, ‘If a man (accuses his wife for an illegal sexual intercourse and) carries out the process of
Lian (what will happen)?’ Ibn ‘Umar set two of his fingers apart. (Sufyan set his index finger and
middle finger apart.) Ibn ‘Umar said, ‘The Prophet separated the couple of Bani Al-Ajlan by divorce
and said thrice, “Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent (to Allah)?’ “
