Sahih al-Bukhari 5311 (Book 68, Hadith 60) #5089
Separation by Divorce in Cases of Accusation

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a man who accused his wife of illegal sexual intercourse and the Prophet (ﷺ) separated them by divorce.

Narrated Sa'id bin Jubair: I asked Ibn 'Umar, "(What is the verdict if) a man accuses his wife of illegal sexual intercourse?" Ibn 'Umar said, "The Prophet separated (by divorce) the couple of Bani Al-Ajlan, and said, (to them), 'Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent?' But both of them refused. He again said, 'Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent?' But both of them refused. So he separated them by divorce". (Aiyub, a sub-narrator said: 'Amr bin Dinar said to me, "There is something else in this Hadith which you have not mentioned. It goes thus: The man said, 'What about my money (ie the Mahr that I have given to my wife)?' It was said, 'You have no right to restore any money, for if you have spoken the truth (as regards the accusation), you have also consummated your marriage with her; and if you have told a lie, you are less rightful to have your money back'. ")
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عُمَرَ رَجُلٌ قَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ فَرَّقَ النَّبِيُّ بَيْنَ أَخَوَىْ بَنِي الْعَجْلاَنِ، وَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمَا كَاذِبٌ، فَهَلْ مِنْكُمَا تَائِبٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَبَيَا‏.‏ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمَا كَاذِبٌ، فَهَلْ مِنْكُمَا تَائِبُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَبَيَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمَا كَاذِبٌ، فَهَلْ مِنْكُمَا تَائِبٌ ‏"‏ فَأَبَيَا فَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا‏.‏ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ فَقَالَ لِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ إِنَّ فِي الْحَدِيثِ شَيْئًا لاَ أَرَاكَ تُحَدِّثُهُ قَالَ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ مَالِي قَالَ قِيلَ لاَ مَالَ لَكَ، إِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا فَقَدْ دَخَلْتَ بِهَا، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ كَاذِبًا فَهْوَ أَبْعَدُ مِنْكَ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive for truthfulness in our dealings with others and not make false accusations against anyone without any proof or evidence; seek reconciliation or arbitration instead of resorting to separation/divorce immediately; practice justice & fairness when dealing with disputes between people; respect marriage & its sanctity; follow Islamic teachings on marriage & family life etc..

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a situation where a man accused his wife of illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ then separated them by divorce as he knew that one of them was lying. He asked both parties to repent but they refused, so the Prophet ﷺ decided to separate them through divorce as it was the only way to resolve this issue. This hadith teaches us that if someone accuses another person without any proof or evidence, then it should not be taken seriously and should be resolved through other means such as reconciliation or arbitration instead of resorting to separation or divorce immediately. It also teaches us that we should always strive for truthfulness in our dealings with others and not make false accusations against anyone without any proof or evidence.
