Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idi' narrated that 'Uwaimir Al-'Ajlani came to 'Asim bin 'Adiyy Al-Ansari and said to him: "O 'Asim, what do you think, if a man finds a man with his wife, should he kill him and be killed by them in return? Or what should he do? O 'Asim, ask the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) about that for me." So 'Asim asked the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) did not like this question, and he criticized it so much that 'Asim felt very upset by what he heard from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). When 'Asim went back to his family, 'Uwaimir came to him and said: "O 'Asim, what did the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say to you?" 'Asim said to 'Uwaimir: "You did not bring me any good. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) did not like the question that I asked him." 'Uwaimir said: "By Allah, I will not rest until I ask him about it." So 'Uwaimir went to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) who was amidst the people, and he said: "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think, if a man finds another man with his wife, should he kill him and be killed by them in return? Or what should he do?" The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "(Verses) have been revealed concerning you and your wife, so go and bring her." Sahl said: "They engaged in Li'an, and I was among the people who were with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). When they had finished, 'Uwaimir said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I would be a liar if I kept her now.' So he divorced her three times before the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) could tell him to do anything." Ibn Shihab said: "Then that became the practice of those who engage in Li'an."

وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِىَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عُوَيْمِرًا الْعَجْلاَنِىَّ جَاءَ إِلَى عَاصِمِ بْنِ عَدِىٍّ الأَنْصَارِىِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَرَأَيْتَ يَا عَاصِمُ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَقْتُلُونَهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَفْعَلُ فَسَلْ لِى عَنْ ذَلِكَ يَا عَاصِمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.فَسَأَلَ عَاصِمٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- الْمَسَائِلَ وَعَابَهَا حَتَّى كَبُرَ عَلَى عَاصِمٍ مَا سَمِعَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ عَاصِمٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ جَاءَهُ عُوَيْمِرٌ فَقَالَ يَا عَاصِمُ مَاذَا قَالَ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ عَاصِمٌ لِعُوَيْمِرٍ لَمْ تَأْتِنِى بِخَيْرٍ قَدْ كَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- الْمَسْأَلَةَ الَّتِى سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهَا. قَالَ عُوَيْمِرٌ وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَنْتَهِى حَتَّى أَسْأَلَهُ عَنْهَا. فَأَقْبَلَ عُوَيْمِرٌ حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَسَطَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلاً وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَقْتُلُونَهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَفْعَلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « قَدْ نَزَلَ فِيكَ وَفِى صَاحِبَتِكَ فَاذْهَبْ فَأْتِ بِهَا ». قَالَ سَهْلٌ فَتَلاَعَنَا وَأَنَا مَعَ النَّاسِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَلَمَّا فَرَغَا قَالَ عُوَيْمِرٌ كَذَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَمْسَكْتُهَا. فَطَلَّقَهَا ثَلاَثًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَكَانَتْ سُنَّةَ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ.

Sahl bin Sa'd Al-Ansari narrated that 'Uwaimir AI-Ansari, one of Banu Al-'Ajlan, came to 'Asim bin 'Adiyy... and he quoted a Hadith like that of Malik (no. 3743). And he added into the Hadith: "... His leaving her after that became the practice of those who engage in Li'an." And he added: "Sahl said: 'She was pregnant, so- her son was named after her, then it became the practice that he could inherit from her and she. could inherit from him the shares decreed by Allah."'

وَحَدَّثَنِى حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِى سَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الأَنْصَارِىُّ أَنَّ عُوَيْمِرًا الأَنْصَارِىَّ مِنْ بَنِى الْعَجْلاَنِ أَتَى عَاصِمَ بْنَ عَدِىٍّ. وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ وَأَدْرَجَ فِى الْحَدِيثِ قَوْلَهُ وَكَانَ فِرَاقُهُ إِيَّاهَا بَعْدُ سُنَّةً فِى الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ. وَزَادَ فِيهِ قَالَ سَهْلٌ فَكَانَتْ حَامِلاً فَكَانَ ابْنُهَا يُدْعَى إِلَى أُمِّهِ. ثُمَّ جَرَتِ السُّنَّةُ أَنَّهُ يَرِثُهَا وَتَرِثُ مِنْهُ مَا فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَهَا.

Ibn Juraij narrated: "Ibn Shihab told me about the two who engage in Li'an and what is done in this case, based on the Hadith of Sahl bin Sa'd, the brother of Banu Sa'idah, according to which a man from among the Ansar came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of a man who finds another man with his wife?..."' and he mentioned the same Hadith (no. 3743), and added: "So they engaged in Li'an in the Masjid and I was present." And he said in the Hadith: "Then he divorced her three times before the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) could tell him to, and he divorced her in front of the Prophet (s.a.w). The Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'Every couple who engage in Li'an are to be separated."'

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِى ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنِ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ وَعَنِ السُّنَّةِ فِيهِمَا عَنْ حَدِيثِ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَخِى بَنِى سَاعِدَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلاً وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِقِصَّتِهِ. وَزَادَ فِيهِ فَتَلاَعَنَا فِى الْمَسْجِدِ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ. وَقَالَ فِى الْحَدِيثِ فَطَلَّقَهَا ثَلاَثًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. فَفَارَقَهَا عِنْدَ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « ذَاكُمُ التَّفْرِيقُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ مُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ ».

It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Jubair said: "I was asked about the couple who engage in Li'an, during the governorship of Mus'ab - should they be separated?" He said: "I did not know what to say, so I went to the house of Ibn 'Umar in Makkah and I said to the slave: 'Ask for permission for me to enter.' He said: 'He is taking a nap.' But he heard my voice and said: 'Ibn Jubair?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Come in, for by Allah it can only be some need that has brought you at this hour.' So I went in, and saw him resting on a blanket, reclining on a pillow that was stuffed with palm fibers. I said: 'Abu 'Abdur-Rahman should a couple who engage in Li'an be separated?' He said: 'Subhan-Allah, yes. The first one to ask about this was so-and-so the son of so-and-so. He said: "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think, if one of us finds his wife committing an immoral action, what should he do? If he speaks, he will be speaking of a serious matter, and if he keeps quiet, he will be keeping quiet about an equally serious matter." The Prophet (s.a.w) remained silent and did not answer him. Then he came to him after that, and said: "I have been afflicted with what I asked you about." Then Allah revealed these verses in Surat An-Nur: "And for those who accuse their wives ..." He (s.a.w) recited them to him, and exhorted and admonished him, and told him that the punishment in this world was lighter than the punishment in the Hereafter. He said: "No, by the One Who sent you with the truth, I am not lying about her." Then he (s.a.w) called her and exhorted and admonished her, and told her that the punishment in this world was lighter than the punishment in the Hereafter. She said: "No, by the One Who sent you with the truth, he is lying." He told the man to start (the process of Li'an). So he testified four times, by Allah, that he was telling the truth, and the fifth time that the curse of Allah would be upon him if he was lying. Then he (s.a.w) told the woman to testify. She testified four times by Allah that he was lying, and the fifth time that the wrath of Allah would be upon her if he was telling the truth. Then he separated them."'

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) separated two members of Banu Al-'Ajlan and said: 'Allah knows that one of you is lying; will either of you repent?"'

وَحَدَّثَنِى أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ فَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بَيْنَ أَخَوَىْ بَنِى الْعَجْلاَنِ وَقَالَ « اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمَا كَاذِبٌ فَهَلْ مِنْكُمَا تَائِبٌ ».

It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Jubair said: "Mus'ab did not separate the two who engaged in Li'an." Sa'eed said: "I mentioned that to 'Abdullah bin 'Umar and he said: 'The Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) separated the couple from Banu Al-'Ajlan."'

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِىُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِلْمِسْمَعِىِّ وَابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنِى أَبِى عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عَزْرَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ لَمْ يُفَرِّقِ الْمُصْعَبُ بَيْنَ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ. قَالَ سَعِيدٌ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ. فَقَالَ فَرَّقَ نَبِىُّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بَيْنَ أَخَوَىْ بَنِى الْعَجْلاَنِ.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that a man engaged in Li'an with his wife at the time of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) separated them and attributed the child to his mother.

وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - قَالَ قُلْتُ لِمَالِكٍ حَدَّثَكَ نَافِعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَجُلاً لاَعَنَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَفَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بَيْنَهُمَا وَأَلْحَقَ الْوَلَدَ بِأُمِّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "We were in the Masjid on the night of Friday when a man from among the Ansar came and said: 'If a man finds another man with his wife and speaks of it, you will flog him, and if he kills him you will kill him, but if he keeps quiet, he will be suppressing his rage. By Allah, I am going to ask the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) about it.' The next day, he went to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and asked him, saying: 'If a man finds another man with his wife and speaks of it, you will flog him, and if he kills him you will kill him, but if he keeps quiet, he will be suppressing his rage.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'O Allah, guide us to the ruling,' and he started to supplicate. Then the verse of Li'an was revealed: "And for those who accuse their wives, but have no witnesses except themselves...". Then that man was put to that test before the people. He and his wife came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and engaged in Li'an. The man testified four times by Allah that he was telling the truth, then the fifth time he swore that the curse of Allah would be upon him if he was lying. Then she started to testify, and the Prophet (s.a.w) said to her: 'Stop.' But she insisted and carried on engaging in Li'an. When they left, he said: 'Perhaps she will give birth to a curly-haired black child.' And she did give birth to a curly-haired black child.''

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِزُهَيْرٍ - قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّا لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِى الْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً فَتَكَلَّمَ جَلَدْتُمُوهُ أَوْ قَتَلَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ وَإِنْ سَكَتَ سَكَتَ عَلَى غَيْظٍ وَاللَّهِ لأَسْأَلَنَّ عَنْهُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً فَتَكَلَّمَ جَلَدْتُمُوهُ أَوْ قَتَلَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ أَوْ سَكَتَ سَكَتَ عَلَى غَيْظٍ. فَقَالَ « اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ ». وَجَعَلَ يَدْعُو فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ اللِّعَانِ (وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ إِلاَّ أَنْفُسُهُمْ) هَذِهِ الآيَاتُ فَابْتُلِىَ بِهِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ النَّاسِ فَجَاءَ هُوَ وَامْرَأَتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَتَلاَعَنَا فَشَهِدَ الرَّجُلُ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ثُمَّ لَعَنَ الْخَامِسَةَ أَنَّ لَعْنَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ فَذَهَبَتْ لِتَلْعَنَ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « مَهْ ». فَأَبَتْ فَلَعَنَتْ فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَا قَالَ « لَعَلَّهَا أَنْ تَجِىءَ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ جَعْدًا ». فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ جَعْدًا.

It was narrated that Muhammad said: "I asked Anas bin Malik (about Li'an) as I saw that he had knowledge of it. He said: 'Hilal bin Umayyah accused his wife (of committing Zina) with Sharik bin Sahma', who was the brother of Al-Bara' bin Malik on his mother's side. He was the first man to engage in Li'an in Islam.' He said: 'He engaged in Li'an with her and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Watch her. If she brings forth a child who is white with straight hair and something wrong with his eyes, then he belongs to Hilal bin Umayyah, and if she gives birth to a child who has dark eyelids, curly hair and lean calves, then he belongs to Sharik bin Sahma'."' He said: 'I was told that she gave birth to a child who had dark eyelids, curly hair and lean calves."'

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَأَنَا أُرَى أَنَّ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهُ عِلْمًا. فَقَالَ إِنَّ هِلاَلَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ قَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ بِشَرِيكِ ابْنِ سَحْمَاءَ وَكَانَ أَخَا الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ لأُمِّهِ وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ رَجُلٍ لاَعَنَ فِى الإِسْلاَمِ - قَالَ - فَلاَعَنَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « أَبْصِرُوهَا فَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَبْيَضَ سَبِطًا قَضِىءَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ فَهُوَ لِهِلاَلِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ وَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَكْحَلَ جَعْدًا حَمْشَ السَّاقَيْنِ فَهُوَ لِشَرِيكِ ابْنِ سَحْمَاءَ ». قَالَ فَأُنْبِئْتُ أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَكْحَلَ جَعْدًا حَمْشَ السَّاقَيْنِ.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "Mention of Li'an was made in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). 'Asim bin 'Adiyy said something about that, then he left. A man from among his people came to him and complained that he had found a man with his wife. 'Asim said: 'I am being tested with what I said.' He took him to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and told him what he had found his wife doing. That man was sallow and lean, with straight hair, and the one whom he claimed to have found with his wife had fleshy calves and was dark and bulky. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'O Allah, make it clear.' Then she gave birth to a child who resembled the one who her husband said he found with her. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) made them engage in Li'an." A man said to Ibn 'Abbas in that gathering: "Was she the one about whom the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'If I were to have stoned anyone without evidence, I would have stoned this woman?' Ibn 'Abbas said: 'No, that was a woman who continued to be a bad woman after becoming Muslim."'

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ وَعِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمِصْرِيَّانِ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ رُمْحٍ - قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ذُكِرَ التَّلاَعُنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَدِىٍّ فِى ذَلِكَ قَوْلاً ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ يَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ مَعَ أَهْلِهِ رَجُلاً. فَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ مَا ابْتُلِيتُ بِهَذَا إِلاَّ لِقَوْلِى فَذَهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالَّذِى وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَتَهُ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مُصْفَرًّا قَلِيلَ اللَّحْمِ سَبِطَ الشَّعَرِ وَكَانَ الَّذِى ادَّعَى عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ خَدْلاً آدَمَ كَثِيرَ اللَّحْمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ ». فَوَضَعَتْ شَبِيهًا بِالرَّجُلِ الَّذِى ذَكَرَ زَوْجُهَا أَنَّهُ وَجَدَهُ عِنْدَهَا فَلاَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بَيْنَهُمَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِى الْمَجْلِسِ أَهِىَ الَّتِى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « لَوْ رَجَمْتُ أَحَدًا بِغَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ رَجَمْتُ هَذِهِ ». فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لاَ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ كَانَتْ تُظْهِرُ فِى الإِسْلاَمِ السُّوءَ.
