Shahih Bukhari - 6760

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Adam] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Abdurrahman bin Abu Dzi'b] telah memberitakan kepada kami [Az Zuhri] dari [Sahl bin Sa'd as Sa'idi] berkata, "Uwaimir Al 'Ajlani datang kepada 'Ashim bin Adi dan berkata, 'Bagaimana pendapatmu jika seorang laki-laki menemukan isterinya bersama laki-laki lain, lantas si suami membunuh laki-laki itu, apakah kalian lantas membunuh si suami karena pembunuhannya? Tolong tanyakan kepada Rasulullah untukku wahai Ashim!" Lantas 'Ashim bertanya Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Rupanya nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam tidak menyukai banyak tanya dan bahkan mencelanya. 'Ashim pun pulang dan mengabarkan kepadanya bahwa nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam tidak menyukai banyak tanya. Spontan 'Uwaimir berkata, 'Sungguh akan kudatangi Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam! ' Uwaimir datang, sedang Allah ta'ala telah menurunkan alquran di belakang 'Ashim. Nabi terus berkata: "Allah telah menurunkan alquran di tengah-tengah kalian." Lantas Rasul memanggil suami-isteri itu. Keduanya hadir dan saling meli'an. Kemudian Uwaimir berkata, 'Berarti kau dusta terhadap isteriku ya Rasulullah, jika aku terus mempertahankannya. Nabi pun langsung memisahkan si wanita dan tidak menyuruh si suami untuk memisahkan, dan pemisahan ini menjadi sunnah (pedoman) bagi suami-isteri yang saling meli'an. Kemudian Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda "Tolong cermatilah bayinya, jika si wanita melahirkan bayi yang merah dan pendek, seperti tokek, maka aku tak berpendapat selain Uwaimir telah bohong, namun jika si wanita melahirkan bayi yang matanya hitam kelam yang mempunyai dua pantat, maka aku tak berpendpat selain Uwaimir telah jujur sehingga si wanita yang keliru." Di kemudian hari si wanita melahirkan bayi yang ciri-cirinya sangat disanksikan (sangat tidak menyerupai ayahnya)." (HR. Bukhari: 6760)

Narrated Sahl bin Saʿd As-Saʿidi: 'Uwaimir Al-'Ajlani came to ʿAsim bin ʿAdi and said, "If a man found another man with his wife and killed him, would you sentence the husband to death (in Qisas,) i.e., equality in punishment)? O ʿAsim! Please ask Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about this matter on my behalf." ʿAsim asked the Prophet (ﷺ) but the Prophet (ﷺ) disliked the question and disapproved of it. ʿAsim returned and informed 'Uwaimir that the Prophet (ﷺ) disliked that type of question. 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will go (personally) to the Prophet (ﷺ)." 'Uwaimir came to the Prophet (ﷺ) when Allah had already revealed Qurʾanic Verses (in that respect), after ʿAsim had left (The Prophet (ﷺ) ). So the Prophet (ﷺ) said to 'Uwaimir, "Allah has revealed Qurʾanic Verses regarding you and your wife." The Prophet (ﷺ) then called for them, and they came and carried out the order of Liʿan. Then 'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Now if I kept her with me, I would be accused of telling a lie." So 'Uwaimir divorced her although the Prophet (ﷺ) did not order him to do so. Later on this practice of divorcing became the tradition of couples involved in a case of Li'an. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to the people). "Wait for her! If she delivers a red short (small) child like a Wahra (a short red animal). then I will be of the opinion that he ('Uwaimir) has told a lie but if she delivered a black big-eyed one with big buttocks, then I will be of the opinion that he has told the truth about her." 'Ultimately she gave birth to a child that proved the accusation. (See Hadith No. 4376) (Bukhari: 6760)
