Chapter 743: Regarding Li'an (Mutual Cursing)

باب فِي اللِّعَانِ

Sunan Abi Dawud 2245

Sahl bin Sa’ad Al Sa’idi said that ‘Uwaimir bin Ashqar Al Ajilani came to ‘Asim bin Adl and said to him “Asim tell me about a man who finds a man along with his wife. Should he kill him and then be killed by you, or how should he act? Ask the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ‘Asim, for me about it. ‘Asim then asked the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) about it. The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) disliked the question and denounced it. What ‘Asim heard from the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) fell heavy on him. When ‘Asim returned to his family ‘Uwaimr came to him and asked ‘Asim “What did the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) say to you”? Asim replied “You did not do good to me”. The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) disliked the question that I asked him. Thereupon ‘Uwaimir said “I swear by Allaah, I shall not leave until I ask him about it. So, ‘Uwaimir came to the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) while he was sitting in the midst of the people.” He said “Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) tell me about a man who finds a man along with his wife. Should he kill him and then be killed by you, or how should he act?” The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said “A revelation has been sent down about you and your wife so go away and bring her. Sahl said “So we cursed one another while I was along with the people who were with the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ). Then when they finished, ‘Umamir said “I shall have lied against her, Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) if I keep her. He pronounced her divorce three times before the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ)commanded him (to do so).

Ibn Shihab said “Then this became the method of invoking curses.”
