حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضى الله عنهما

أَنَّ هِلَالَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ، قَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَرِيكِ بْنِ سَحْمَاءَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْبَيِّنَةُ أَوْ حَدٌّ فِي ظَهْرِكَ».

فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُنَا عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً يَنْطَلِقُ يَلْتَمِسُ الْبَيِّنَةَ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: «الْبَيِّنَةَ وَإِلاَّ حَدٌّ فِي ظَهْرِكَ». فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ اللِّعَانِ

Hilal ibn Umaiya accused his wife before the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) of committing illegal sexual intercourse with Sharik ibn Sahma. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Produce a proof, or else you would get the legal punishment (by being lashed) on your back.”

Hilal said, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! If anyone of us saw another man over his wife, would he go to search for a proof.” The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) went on saying, “Produce a proof or else you would get the legal punishment (by being lashed) on your back.” The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then mentioned the narration of Lian (as in the Holy Book). (Surat-al-Nur:).

ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। হিলাল ইবনু উমাইয়া নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম)-এর নিকট তার স্ত্রীর বিরুদ্ধে শারীক ইবনু সাহমা এর সঙ্গে ব্যভিচারে লিপ্ত হবার অভিযোগ করলে নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) বললেন, হয় তুমি প্রমাণ পেশ করবে, নয় তোমার পিঠে দন্ড আপতিত হবে।

সে বলল, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! আমাদের কেউ কি আপন স্ত্রীর উপর অপর কোন পুরুষকে দেখে প্রমাণ সংগ্রহের জন্য ছুটে যাবে? কিন্তু নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) একই কথা বলতে থাকলেন, হয় প্রমাণ পেশ করবে, নয় তোমার পিঠে বেত্রাঘাতের দন্ড আপতিত হবে। তারপর তিনি লি‘আন ...... সংক্রান্ত হাদীস বর্ণনা করলেন। (৪৭৪৭, ৫৩০৭)

ہم سے محمد بن بشار نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم سے ابن ابی عدی نے بیان کیا، ان سے ہشام نے، ان سے عکرمہ نے بیان کیا اور ان سے ابن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما نے بیان کیا کہ ہلال بن امیہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے سامنے اپنی بیوی پر شریک بن سمحاء کے ساتھ تہمت لگائی تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”اس پر گواہ لا ورنہ تمہاری پیٹھ پر حد لگائی جائے گی۔“ انہوں نے کہا یا رسول اللہ!

کیا ہم میں سے کوئی شخص اگر اپنی عورت پر کسی دوسرے کو دیکھے گا تو گواہ ڈھونڈنے دوڑے گا؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم برابر یہی فرماتے رہے ”گواہ لا ورنہ تمہاری پیٹھ پر حد لگائی جائے گی۔“ پھر لعان کی حدیث کا ذکر کیا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Basysyar] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Abi 'Adiy] dari [Hisyam] telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Ikrimah] dari [Ibnu 'Abbas radliallahu 'anhuma] bahwa Hilal bin Umayyah menuduh isterinya berbuat serong (selingkuh) dengan Syarik bin Sahma' di hadapan Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam.

Maka Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Apakah kamu punya bukti atau punggungmu dipukul?" Maka dia berkata: "Wahai Rasulullah, bila seorang dari kami melihat ada seorang laki-laki bersama isterinya, apakah dia harus mencari bukti?" Beliau kontan mengatakan 'Harus ada bukti, punggungmu harus didera (atas tuduhan ini). Lalu diceritakanlah tentang hadits Li'an (saling melaknat antara yang menuduh dengan yang dituduh)

İbn Abbas r.a.'dan rivayet edilmiştir: Hilal b. Ümeyye r.a. Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)'in huzurunda hanımının Şerik b. Sahma ile zina ettiğini söylemişti. Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem: "Ya şahit getirirsin, ya da sırtına sopa yersin" buyurdu. Hilal: "Ey Allah'ın Resulü! Bir adam hanımının üzerinde bir erkek gördüğünde hiç gider de şahit arar mı?" dedi. Hz. Nebi yine: "Ya şahit getirirsin, ya da sırtına sopa yersin" buyurdu. İbn Abbas daha sonra lian hadisini zikretti. Tekrar:

What it means

This Hadīth indicates that Hilāl ibn Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) accused his wife of committing adultery with Sharīk ibn Sahmā'. Therefore, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked Hilāl to bring proof, and otherwise he would receive the prescribed punishment for false accusations, which consists of flogging one's back.

Hilāl wondered if a man should see his wife committing adultery with a man and go find witnesses! However, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) insisted on providing the proof, and otherwise the relevant punishment would be applied against the accuser. Abu Ya‘la reprorts in his Musnad on the authority of Anas ibn Mālik that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked Hilāl to bring four witnesses or else he would apply the prescribed punishment against him.

On that, Hilāl swore by Allah, Who sent the Prophet with the truth, that he was saying the truth about his wife's adultery with Sharīk, and prayed that Allah would reveal something that would exonerate him from the punishment. So Jibrīl came down with revelation: {And for those who accuse their wives...} [Sūrat An-Nūr: 6] He recited it until he reached: {...if he was of the truthful} [ Sūrat An-Nūr: 9].

Hilāl came forward and gave his testimony. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that Allah knew that one of the spouses was lying and wondered if either of them would repent. It seems that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that after they finished taking their oaths of repudiation.

Based on this, the one who lies has to repent. Alternatively, he said that before they took the oaths so as to warn them. The woman also testified. When she was ready to take the fifth oath, the people prevented her from proceeding.

They told her that this fifth oath was consequential, for it would remove her from Allah's mercy and incur the torment in the Hereafter upon her if she was not saying the truth.

So, as Ibn ‘Abbās said: she slowed down, stopped, and drew back, meaning that she kept silent after the fourth oath. People thought that she would recant her falsification of her husband's charge and her exoneration of herself. She noted that she would not bring shame upon her family for the rest of time by revoking her oath and credit her husband.

Therefore, she took the fifth oath of repudiation. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked the people to check the child that would be born: if he had dark eyelashes, as if he had kohl on them, big buttocks, and fat shins, then the boy was the son of Sharīk ibn Sahmā'. Resemblance is a good proof in cases other than repudiation.

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) remarked that if it were not the divine judgment that the punishment is inapplicable if the repudiation oaths are taken, he would apply the punishment against the woman. He wanted to make her case a lesson to be learned. That was the first case of Li‘ān in Islam, and verses of the Qur’an were sent down concerning it.
