Sunan Ibn Majah 2068 (Book 10, Hadith 53) #31420
The Revelation of Li'an

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a man who accused his wife of adultery and the Prophet ﷺ revealed the verses of Li'an to them.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "We were in the mosque one Friday night when a man said: 'If a man finds a man with his wife and kills him, will you kill him, and if he speaks,will you flog him. By Allah I will mention that to the Prophet . So he mentioned that to the Prophet , and Allah revealed the Verses of Li'an. Then after that the man came and accused his wife, so the Prophet told them to go through the procedure of Li'an and he said: 'Perhaps she will give birth to a black child.’ Then she gave birth to a black child with curly hair".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَلاَّدٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً فَقَتَلَهُ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ وَإِنْ تَكَلَّمَ جَلَدْتُمُوهُ وَاللَّهِ لأَذْكُرَنَّ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ـ ـ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ـ ـ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ آيَاتِ اللِّعَانِ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ جَاءَ الرَّجُلُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَقْذِفُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَلاَعَنَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ بَيْنَهُمَا وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ عَسَى أَنْ تَجِيءَ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ أَسْوَدَ جَعْدًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man who accused his wife of adultery and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ revealed the verses of Li'an to them. The procedure for this was that both parties would take an oath in front of Allah that they were telling the truth. If one party was found to be lying then they would be cursed by Allah and their child would have physical characteristics that could identify them as liars. This hadith teaches us that we should not accuse people without proof and if we do so then we will face consequences from Allah. We should also strive to tell the truth at all times even if it means facing difficult situations or consequences.
