Judging and mutual cursing (li'an) between men and women in the mosque

أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلاً وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَلاَعَنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ،

Translation

Sahl ibn Sa'd reported that a man said, “O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of a man who finds a man with his wife: should he kill him?” Then they (the husband and wife) carried out the mutual cursing (li'an) in the mosque, and I was a witness.

Translator’s note: Li'an: the mutual oath of the spouses before the judge when the husband accuses his wife of adultery and has no witnesses (Qur'an 24:6–9).

Sahl ibn Sa'd berichtete, dass ein Mann sagte: „O Gesandter Allahs, was meinst du zu einem Mann, der bei seiner Frau einen Mann findet: Soll er ihn töten?“ Dann vollzogen sie (die Eheleute) den gegenseitigen Fluchschwur (Li'an) in der Moschee, und ich war Zeuge.

Translator’s note: Li'an: der gegenseitige Schwur der Eheleute vor dem Richter, wenn der Mann seiner Frau Ehebruch vorwirft und keine Zeugen hat (Koran 24:6–9).

Türkçe

Sehl b. Sa'd (r.a.), bir adamın: “Ey Allah'ın Resûlü, karısının yanında bir adam bulan kişi hakkında ne dersin, onu öldürsün mü?” dediğini rivayet etti. Sonra (karı koca) mescidde lânetleştiler; ben de oradaydım.

Translator’s note: Liân: Koca, karısını zinayla itham edip şahit getiremediğinde eşlerin hâkim huzurunda karşılıklı yemin etmesi (Kur'ân 24:6–9).
