Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) separated the husband and wife who performed li'an, and attributed the child to the mother.

Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) separating a couple who had engaged in li’an; at that time I was fifteen years old. The man said: If I take her back, then I am a liar.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the couple performing li'an: "Your matter is with Allah; one of you is a liar. She has no right over you." He said: "My wealth?" The Prophet said: "If you are truthful, then this wealth is because you have benefited from her, and if you are lying, then it is even further from you."

Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: When the process of li'an was completed, the husband demanded his wealth back from his wife. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If you are truthful, then that wealth was because you benefited from her, and if you are lying, then you are far from it; Allah knows that one of you is a liar."

Hazrat Sa'id bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about li'an. He replied: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made two brothers from Banu Ajlan perform li'an and said: "Allah knows that one of you is a liar. Will any of you repent?" He said this three times.

It is narrated from Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) returned the dowry of a wife to a man from Banu Ajlan.

Hazrat Aamir Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Li'an is more severe than Rajm (stoning).

Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There will be a permanent separation between the man and woman who engage in li'an, and they will never be united again.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If anyone accuses the child of the one who performed li'an, he should be flogged, and the woman who performed li'an can never marry the man who performed li'an.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) conducted li'an between a man and a woman. The man said: "By Allah, I have not even touched her since we stopped watering the date palms." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! Make it manifest." Then the woman gave birth to a child whose characteristics were completely different from the man.
