“I was a man who had a lot of desire for women, and I do not think there was any man who had as great a share of that as me. When Ramadan began, I declared Zihar upon my wife (to last) until Ramadan ended. While she was talking to me one night, part of her body became uncovered. I jumped on her and had intercourse with her. The next morning I went to my people and told them, and said to them: ‘Ask the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for me.’ They said: ‘We will not do that, lest Allah reveal Quran concerning us or the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) says, something about us, and it will be a lasting source of disgrace for us. Rather we will leave you to deal with it yourself. Go yourself and tell the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about your problem.’ So I went out and when I came to him, I told him what happened. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Did you really do that?’ I said: ‘I really did that, and here I am, O Messenger of Allah. (ﷺ) I will bear Allah’s ruling on me with patience.’ He said: ‘Free a slave.’ I said: ‘By the One Who sent you with the truth, I do not own anything but myself.’ He said: ‘Fast for two consecutive months.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, the thing that happened to me was only because of fasting.’ He said: ‘Then give charity, or feed sixty poor persons.’ I said: ‘By the One Who sent you with the truttu we spent last night with no dinner.’ He said: ‘Then go to the collector of charity of Banu Zuraiq, and tell him to give you something, then feed sixty poor persons, and benefit from the rest.'”

“Uwaimir came to ‘Asim bin ‘Adi and said: ‘Ask the Messenger of Ailah (ﷺ) for me: “Do you think that if a man finds another man with his wife and kills him, he should be killed in retaliation, or what should he do?” ‘Asim asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about that, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) disapproved of the question. Then ‘Uwaimir met him (‘Asim) and asked him about that, saying: ‘What did you do?’ He said: I did that and you have not brought me any good. I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he disapproved of this question.’ Uwaimir said: ‘By Allah, I will go to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) myself and ask him.’ So he went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and found that Qur’an had been revealed concerning them, and the Prophet (ﷺ) told them to go through the procedure of Li’an. ‘Uwaimir said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ) by Allah if I take her back, I would have been telling lies about her.’ So he left her before the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told him to do so, and that became the Sunnah for two who engage in the procedure of Li’an. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Wait and see. If she gives birth to a child who is black in color with widely-spaced dark eyes and large buttocks, then I think that he was telling the truth about her, but if she gives birth to a child with a red complexion like a Wahrah, then I think that he was lying.’ Then she gave birth to a child with features resembling those of the man concerning whom she was accused.”

Hilal bin Umayyah accused his wife in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ) of (committing adultery) with Sharik bin Sahma’. The Prophet said: “Bring proof or you will feel the Hadd (punishment) on your back.” Hilal bin Umayyah said: “By the One Who sent you with the truth, I am telling the truth, and Allah will send down revelation concerning my situation which will spare my back.” Then the following was revealed: “And for those who accuse their wives, but have no witnesses except themselves, let the testimony of one of them be four testimonies (i.e., testifies four times) by Allah that he is one of those who speak the truth. And the fifth (testimony should be) the invoking of the curse of Allah on him if he be of those who tell a lie (against her). But it shall avert the punishment (of stoning to death) from her, it she bears witness four times by Allah, that he (her husband) is telling a lie. And the fifth (testimony) should be that the wrath of Allah be upon her if he (her husband) speaks the truth.” The Prophet (ﷺ), turned and sent for them, and they came. Hilal bin Umayyah stood up and bore witness, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Allah knows that one of you is lying. Will either of you repent?” Then she stood up and affirmed her innocence. On the fifth time, meaning that the wrath of Allah be upon her if he (her husband) speaks the truth, they said to her: “It will invoke the wrath of Allah.” Ibn ‘Abbas said: “She hesitated and backed up, until we thought that she was going to recant. Then she said: ‘By Allah, I cannot dishonor my people for ever.’ Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Wait and see. If she gives birth to a child with black eyes, fleshy buttocks and big calves, then he is the son of Sharik bin Sahma’.’ And she gave birth to such a child. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Had it not the matter been settled by the Book of Allah, I would have punished her severely.’ “

## Hadith #1823

**Book:** The Chapters on Divorce | **Narrator(s):** Ahmed bin Yusuf bin Khalid أحمد بن يوسف بن خالد حمدان, al-Dahhak bin Mukhlad Abu 'Asim al-Nabil الضحاك بن مخلد أبو عاصم النبيل, Ibn Jurayj ابن جريج, Jabir ibn 'Abdullah, Muhammad bin Muslim bin Tadras محمد بن مسلم بن تدرس أبو الزبير

a man’s father or mother – Shu’bah (one of the namators) was not sure – ordered him to divorce his wife, and he made a vow that he would free one hundred slaves if he did that. He came to Abu Darda’ while he was praying the Duha, and he was making his prayer lengthy, and he prayed between Zuhr and ‘Asr. Then he asked him and Abu Darda’ said: “Fulfill your vow and honor your parents.” Abu Ad-Darda’ said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘(Honoring) one’s father may lead one to enter through the best of the gates of Paradise; so take care of your parents, (it is so, whether you take care of them) or not. “
