Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Asim bin Adi: Keep this woman in your custody until she gives birth; if she gives birth to a child with curly hair and a black tongue, then he is the son of Sahma. When the child was born, Asim says that I took hold of him and the hair on his head was thick like that of a young goat, then I took hold of his jaw and it was red like a jujube, and when I looked at his tongue from the front, it was black like a date. I said, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has spoken the truth.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man married an Ansari woman from the Banu Ajlan. He went to her and spent the night with her. In the morning, he said that he did not find the woman to be a virgin. When the matter of both of them was presented before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) called the girl and inquired about the matter. The girl replied: I was indeed a virgin. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered both of them to perform li'an (mutual cursing) and also gave the girl her dowry.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) gave the verdict regarding the son of the woman involved in li‘an that he should not be called by reference to his father, and that whoever accuses this woman or her children should be subjected to the punishment for slander. Furthermore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) also ordered that the husband of this woman is not responsible for her maintenance or accommodation, because the separation between them is not due to divorce or the husband's death, but for another reason.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that a man performed li'an with his wife and also denied his relation to her child. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) separated them and attributed the child to the woman.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) gave the verdict regarding the child of a couple who performed li'an (mutual cursing) that such a child will inherit from his mother and the mother will inherit from the child. Whoever, after li'an, accuses the woman or her child, will be given eighty (80) lashes.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the husband and wife who performed li'an: "Your matter is referred to Allah Almighty; one of you is surely lying." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the husband: "You no longer have any authority over this woman." The man said: "O Messenger of Allah! What will happen to the dowry I have given?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you are truthful against this woman, then the dowry will be in exchange for the fact that you considered her private parts lawful for you. And if you have made a false accusation, then she is very far from you."

Narrated by Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the incident of Li’an that occurred in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when a husband and wife performed Li’an with each other. He says that at that time he was fifteen years old. The husband who performed Li’an said: O Messenger of Allah! If I now keep my wife with me, it is as if I have made a false accusation against her, therefore I will not keep her with me. Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The woman who performed Li’an gave birth to a child with an undesirable attribute.

Syedna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man from Banu Fazarah came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! My wife has given birth to a black child. (Since he himself was of fair complexion), he was actually indicating denial of the child. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: Do you have camels? He said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What are their colors? He said: Red. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Is there a gray-colored camel among them? He said: Yes, there is. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Where did that come from? He said: Perhaps some vein has pulled it. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Perhaps this child has also been pulled by a vein. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not permit him to deny the child.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The child will be attributed to the one on whose bed it is born.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The child will belong to the owner of the bed, while the adulterer will receive stones.
