Narrated Sahl bin Sad As-Sa’idi:
‘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.)

Narrated Nafi:
Ibn ‘Umar used to say about the Ila (which Allah defined (in the Holy Book), “If the period of Ila
expires, then the husband has either to retain his wife in a handsome manner or to divorce her as
Allah has ordered.” Ibn ‘Umar added, “When the period of four months has expired, the husband
should be put in prison so that he should divorce his wife, but the divorce does not occur unless the
husband himself declares it. This has been mentioned by ‘Uthman, ‘Ali, Abu Ad-Darda, ‘Aisha and
twelve other companions of the Prophet .”

should take it, because it is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf.” Then he was asked about a
lost camel. He got angry and his face became red and he said (to the questioner), “You have nothing
to do with it; it has its feet and its water container with it; it can go on drinking water and eating
trees till its owner meets it.” And then the Prophet was asked about a Luqata (money found by some –
