Qasim bin Muhammad narrates: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) mentioned the husband and wife who performed li'an, so Abdullah bin Shaddad said to him: "Was this the woman about whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'If I were to stone anyone without proof, I would have stoned this woman'?" So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) replied: "No, that woman used to commit (sin) openly."
