Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna ‘Uwaymir ‘Ajlani (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyiduna ‘Asim bin ‘Adi Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: O ‘Asim, what is your opinion regarding this matter—if a man finds another man with his wife, and if he kills him, then you people will kill him, so what should that person do? O ‘Asim, ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about this matter for me. The narrator says: Sayyiduna ‘Asim (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about this matter, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) disliked such questions and considered them blameworthy. This was very distressing for ‘Asim (may Allah be pleased with him) when he heard it from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). When ‘Asim returned home, ‘Uwaymir came to him and said: O ‘Asim, what did the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say to you? ‘Asim said to ‘Uwaymir: You did not bring me any good. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) disliked the question about which I had asked him. So ‘Uwaymir said: By Allah! I will not stop until I ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about it myself. Then Sayyiduna ‘Uwaymir (may Allah be pleased with him) came while the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was sitting among the people. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The ruling regarding you and your wife has been revealed. Go and bring her. Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: So both of them performed li’an. I was present with the people at the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). When both of them finished the li’an, Sayyiduna ‘Uwaymir said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! If I still keep this woman with me, it would mean that I have made a false accusation against her. So before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) could give him any instruction, he gave that woman three divorces.
