Narrated Said 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 (i.e. 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.' ")

Narrated Said bin Jubair:
I asked Ibn 'Umar about those who were involved in a case of Lien.
He said, "The Prophet said to those who were involved in a case of
Lien, 'Your accounts are with Allah. One of you two is a liar, and
you (the husband) have no right over her (she is divorced)." The man
said, 'What about my property (Mahr) ?' The Prophet said, 'You have
no right to get back your property. If you have told the truth about
her then your property was for the consummation of your marriage
with her; and if you told a lie about her, then you are less
rightful to get your property back.' " Sufyan, a sub-narrator said:
I learned the Hadith from 'Amr. Narrated Aiyub: I heard Sa'id bin
Jubair saying, "I asked Ibn 'Umar, 'If a man (accuses his wife for
an illegal sexual intercourse and) carries out the process of Lian
(what will happen)?' Ibn 'Umar set two of his fingers apart. (Sufyan
set his index finger and middle finger apart.) Ibn 'Umar said, 'The
Prophet separated the couple of Bani Al-Ajlan by divorce and said
thrice, "Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will one of
you repent (to Allah)?' "

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Those involved in a case of Lian were mentioned before Allah's
Apostle Asim bin Adi said something about that and then left. Later
on a man from his tribe came to him and told him that he had found
another man with his wife. On that 'Asim said, "I have not been put
to task except for what I have said (about Lian)." 'Asim took the
man to Allah's Apostle and he told him of the state in which he
found his wife. The man was pale, thin and lank-haired, while the
other man whom he had found with his wife was brown, fat with thick
calves and curly hair. Allah's Apostle said, "O Allah! Reveal the
truth." Then the lady delivered a child resembling the man whom her
husband had mentioned he had found with her. So Allah's Apostle
ordered them to carry out Lien. A man from that gathering said to
Ibn 'Abbas, "Was she the same lady regarding whom Allah's Apostle
said, 'If I were to stone to death someone without witnesses, I
would have stoned this lady'?" Ibn 'Abbas said, "No, that was
another lady who, though being a Muslim, used to arouse suspicion
because of her outright misbehavior."

bin Al-Hakam did not obey me (or had a convincing argument)." (In
Al-Qasim's versions Marwan said, "Have you not heard of the case of
Fatima bint Qais?" Aisha said, "The case of Fatima bint Qais is not
in your favor.' Marwan bin Al-Hakam said to 'Aisha, "The reason that

The sister of Ma'qil bin Yasar was married to a man and then that
man divorced her and remained away from her till her period of the
'Iddah expired. Then he demanded for her hand in marriage, but
Ma'qil got angry out of pride and haughtiness and said, "He kept
away from her when he could still retain her, and now he demands her
hand again?" So Ma'qil disagreed to remarry her to him. Then Allah
revealed: 'When you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the
term of their prescribed period, do not prevent them from marrying
their (former) husbands.' (2.232) So the Prophet sent for Ma'qil and
recited to him (Allah's order) and consequently Ma'qil gave up his
pride and haughtiness and yielded to Allah's order.

Ibn 'Umar bin Al-Khattab divorced his wife during her menses.
Allah's Apostle ordered him to take her back till she became clean,
and when she got another period while she was with him, she should
wait till she became clean again and only then, if he wanted to
divorce her, he could do so before having sexual relations with her.
And that is the period Allah has fixed for divorcing women. Whenever
'Abdullah (bin 'Umar) was asked about that, he would say to the
questioner, "If you divorced her thrice, she is no longer lawful for
you unless she marries another man (and the other man divorces her
in his turn).' Ibn 'Umar further said, 'Would that you (people) only
give one or two divorces, because the Prophet has ordered me so."

counted?" He replied, "If somebody behaves foolishly (will his
foolishness be an excuse for his misbehavior)?"

Narrated Humaid bin Nafi':
Zainab bint Abu Salama told me these three narrations: Zainab said:
I went to Um Habiba, the wife of the Prophet when her father, Abu-
Sufyan bin Herb had died. Um ,Habiba asked for a perfume which
contained yellow scent (Khaluq) or some other scent, and she first
perfumed one of the girls with it and then rubbed her cheeks with it
and said, "By Allah, I am not in need of perfume, but I have heard
Allah's Apostle saying, 'It is not lawful for a lady who believes in
Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a dead person for more than
three days unless he is her husband for whom she should mourn for
four months and ten days.' " Zainab further said: I want to Zainab
bint Jahsh when her brother died. She asked for perfume and used
some of it and said, "By Allah, I am not in need of perfume, but I
have heard Allah's Apostle saying on the pulpit, 'It is not lawful
for a lady who believes in Allah and the last day to mourn for more
than three days except for her husband for whom she should mourn for
four months and ten days.' " Zainab further said, "I heard my
mother, Um Salama saying that a woman came to Allah's Apostle and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! The husband of my daughter has died and
she is suffering from an eye disease, can she apply kohl to her
eye?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No," twice or thrice. (Every time
she repeated her question) he said, "No." Then Allah's Apostle
added, "It is just a matter of four months and ten days. In the
Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance a widow among you should throw a
globe of dung when one year has elapsed." I said to Zainab, "What
does 'throwing a globe of dung when one year had elapsed' mean?"
Zainab said, "When a lady was bereaved of her husband, she would
live in a wretched small room and put on the worst clothes she had
and would not touch any scent till one year had elapsed. Then she
would bring an animal, e.g. a donkey, a sheep or a bird and rub her
body against it. The animal against which she would rub her body
would scarcely survive. Only then she would come out of her room,
whereupon she would be given a globe of dung which she would throw
away and then she would use the scent she liked or the like."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 252
Narrated Um Salama:
A woman was bereaved of her husband and her relatives worried about
her eyes (which were diseased). They came to Allah's Apostle, and
asked him to allow them to treat her eyes with kohl, but he said,
"She should not apply kohl to her eyes. (In the Pre-Islamic period
of Ignorance) a widowed woman among you would stay in the worst of
her clothes (or the worst part of her house) and when a year had
elapsed, if a dog passed by her, she would throw a globe of dung,
Nay, (she cannot use kohl) till four months and ten days have elapsed."
Narrated Um Habiba: The Prophet said, "It is not lawful for a Muslim
woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for more than
three days, except for her husband, for whom she should mourn for
four months and ten days."

dyed clothes, except a garment of 'Asb (special clothes made in
Yemen). But it was permissible for us that when one of us became
clean from her menses and took a bath, she could use a piece of a
certain kind of incense. And it was forbidden for us to follow
funeral processions.

a garment of 'Asb" Um 'Atiyya added: The Prophet said, "She should

whereupon she can use Qust, and Azfar (two kinds of incense).

Narrated Mujahid:
(regarding the Verse): 'If any of you dies and leaves wives behind,'
That was the period of the 'Iddah which the widow was obliged to
spend in the house of the late husband. Then Allah revealed: And
those of you who die and leave wives should bequeath for their wives
a year's maintenance and residence without turning them out, but if
they leave, there is no blame on you for what they do of themselves,
provided it is honorable (i.e. lawful marriage) (2.240) Mujahid
said: Allah has ordered that a widow has the right to stay for seven
months and twenty days with her husband's relatives through her
husband's will and testament so that she will complete the period of
one year (of 'Iddah). But the widow has the right to stay that extra
period or go out of her husband's house as is indicated by the
statement of Allah: 'But if they leave there is no blame on you,...
' (2.240) Ibn 'Abbas said: The above Verse has cancelled the order
of spending the period of the 'Iddah at her late husband's house,
and so she could spend her period of the 'Iddah wherever she likes.
And Allah says: 'Without turning them out.' 'Ata said: If she would,
she could spend her period of the 'Iddah at her husband's house, and
live there according to her (husband's) will and testament, and if
she would, she could go out (of her husband's house) as Allah says:
'There is no blame on you for what they do of themselves.' (2.240)
'Ata added: Then the Verses of inheritance were revealed and the
order of residence (for the widow) was cancelled, and she could
spend her period of the 'Iddah wherever she would like, and she was
no longer entitled to be accommodated by her husband's family.

separated the couple of Bani 'Ajlan (when the husband accused his
wife for an illegal sexual intercourse). The Prophet said, 'Allah
knows that one of you two IS a liar; so will one of you repent?' But

is a liar; so will one of you repent?' But they refused, whereupon
he separated them by divorce." Aiyub (a sub-narrator) said: 'Amr bin
Dinar said to me, "In the narration there is something which I do
not see you mentioning, i.e. the husband said, "What about my money
(Mahr)?' The Prophet said, "You are not entitled to take back money,
for if you told the truth you have already entered upon her (and
consummated your marriage with her) and if you are a liar then you
are less entitled to take it back.

Apostle!" The Prophet
said, "You are not entitled to take back any money. If you have told
the truth, the Mahr that you paid, was for having sexual relations
with her lawfully; and if you are a liar, then you are less entitled
to get it back."
