Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that ‘Uwaymir ‘Ajlani (may Allah be pleased with him) came to ‘Asim bin ‘Adi Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him,“O ‘Asim, what do you think, if a man finds someone else with his wife, can he kill him? And then, would you kill (the husband) in retaliation, or what should he do?”‘Asim, please ask this issue from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for me. When Sayyiduna ‘Asim (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about this issue, he disliked these questions, and his words in this regard were hard on Sayyiduna ‘Asim (may Allah be pleased with him). When he returned home, Sayyiduna ‘Uwaymir (may Allah be pleased with him) came and asked him,“Tell me, what did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say to you?”Sayyiduna ‘Asim (may Allah be pleased with him) replied,“You have put me in trouble. The question you asked was displeasing to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).”Sayyiduna ‘Uwaymir (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“By Allah, I will not rest until I ask this issue directly from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).”So he set out and reached the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who was sitting among the people. Sayyiduna ‘Uwaymir (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“O Messenger of Allah, if a man finds someone else with his wife, what do you think, should he kill him? But in that case, would you kill him (the husband), or what should he do?”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“Allah the Exalted has revealed something about your wife, so go and bring your wife with you.”Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that then both (husband and wife) performed li’an (mutual cursing). I was also present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at that time along with the people. When both finished the li’an, Sayyiduna ‘Uwaymir said,“O Messenger of Allah, if after this I keep her with me, (it would mean) I am a liar.”So, before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave any order, he divorced his wife three times.
