‘Uwaimir Al-Ajlani came to ‘Asim bin Ad Al-Ansari and said to him, “O ‘Asim! Suppose a man saw
another man with his wife, would he kill him whereupon you would kill him; or what should he do?
Please, O ‘Asim, ask about this on my behalf.” ‘Asim asked Allah’s Apostle about it. Allah’s Apostle, dis –
liked that question and considered it disgraceful. What ‘Asim heard from Allah’s Apostle was hard on
him. When ‘Asim returned to his family, ‘Uwaimir came to him and said, “O ‘Asim! What did Allah’s
Apostle. say to you?” ‘Asim said to ‘Uwaimir, “You never bring me any good. Allah’s Apostle disliked
the problem which I asked him about.” ‘Uwaimir said, “By Allah, I will not give up this matter until I
ask the Prophet about it.” So ‘Uwaimir proceeded till he came to Allah’s Apostle in the midst of
people, and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! If a man sees another man with his wife, would he kill him,
whereupon you would kill him, or what should he do?” Allah’s Apostle said, “Allah has revealed some
decree as regards you and your wives case. Go and bring her.” So they carried out the process of Lian
while I was present among the people with Allah’s Apostle. When they had finished their Lian,
‘Uwaimir said, “O Allah’s Apostle! If I should now keep her with me as a wife, then I have told a lie.”
So he divorced her thrice before Allah’s Apostle ordered him. (Ibn Shihab said: So divorce was the
tradition for all those who were involved in a case of Lian.)

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 7 > BOOK 63: DIVORCE
Ibn Shihab informed me of Lian and the tradition related to it, referring to the narration of Sahl
bin Sad, the brother of Bani Sa’idi He said, “An Ansari man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, ‘O Allah’s
Apostle! If a man saw another man with his wife, should he kill him, or what should he do?’ So Allah
revealed concerning his affair what is mentioned in the Holy Quran about the affair of those in –
volved in a case of Lian. The Prophet said, ‘Allah has given His verdict regarding you and your wife.’
So they carried out Lian in the mosque while I was present there. When they had finished, the man
said, “O Allah’s Apostle! If I should now keep her with me as a wife then I have told a lie about her.
Then he divorced her thrice before Allah’s Apostle ordered him, when they had finished the Lian
process. So he divorced her in front of the Prophet .” Ibn Shihab added, “After their case, it became a
tradition that a couple involved in a case of Lian should be separated by divorce. That lady was preg –
nant then, and later on her son was called by his mother’s name. The tradition concerning their in –
heritance was that she would be his heir and he would inherit of her property the share Allah had
prescribed for him.” Ibn Shihab said that Sahl bin Sad As’Saidi said that the Prophet said (in the above
narration), “If that lady delivers a small red child like a lizard, then the lady has spoken the truth and
the man was a liar, but if she delivers a child with black eyes and huge lips, then her husband has
spoken the truth.” Then she delivered it in the shape one would dislike (as it proved her guilty).
