Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One night we were present in the mosque of Madinah with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). A man said: What is your opinion if a person finds another man with his wife, and if he kills that other man, will you people kill him (in retaliation)? And if he remains silent, he will remain silent in a state of anger (or he will remain silent over a matter on which anger is justified). By Allah! I will definitely ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about this. The next day, he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and asked about this matter: He said: If a person finds another man with his wife and kills him, you people will kill him (in retaliation). If he accuses (without proof), you people will flog him. And if he remains silent, he remains silent over a matter on which anger is justified. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) (or that man) prayed: O Allah! Grant relief. Then this verse was revealed: "And those who accuse their wives..." These verses are about li'an (mutual cursing). Then that man and his wife came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Both of them performed li'an. The man swore by Allah four times, testifying that he was truthful, and the fifth time he said: May the curse of Allah be upon him if he is lying. Then the woman wanted to perform li'an, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to her: Wait. But the woman performed li'an. When she left, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Perhaps this woman will give birth to a child with dark skin and curly hair. (The narrator says) Then that woman gave birth to a child with dark skin and curly hair. Ishaq, the narrator, says: Yahya bin Ma'in narrated this. I said to Jarir: No one except you has narrated this from A'mash. So Jarir said: I have heard this narration from him.
