She testified the fifth time that the wrath of Allah be upon her if he were of the truthful. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) decreed that she should not be accused, nor should her child be accused; and whoever accused her or her child would be flogged with the prescribed punishment. She has no right to maintenance or housing from him, because they are separated without a divorce or the death of the husband. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Observe her; if she delivers a child who is dark-complexioned, with reddish hair, bow-legged, and thin-shanked, then he belongs to Hilal ibn Umayyah. But if she delivers a child who is stout-legged, with full buttocks, swarthy, curly-haired, and handsome, then he belongs to the man she was accused with." He said: She then delivered a child who was swarthy, curly-haired, handsome, stout-legged, and had full buttocks. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Were it not for the oaths [already taken], I would have had a different course of action regarding her and him." 'Abbad said: I heard 'Ikrimah say: "I saw him when he was a governor of one of the provinces, and he did not know who his father was."
His saying, the Exalted: "And the fifth [oath] is that the wrath of Allah be upon him"
14183 - Ahmad ibn Mansur al-Ramadi narrated to us, Yunus ibn Muhammad narrated to us, Salih—who is Ibn 'Umar—narrated to us, 'Asim ibn Kulayb narrated to us, from his father, Ibn 'Abbas narrated to me, saying: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and accused his wife of [committing adultery with] a man. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) disliked that, and he kept repeating it until the following was revealed: "And those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except themselves..." He read until he finished the two verses. He then sent for them, summoned them, and said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has revealed [a ruling] concerning you both." He summoned the man and read to him, so he testified four times by Allah that he was indeed of the truthful. He then ordered that his mouth be held, and he admonished him, saying: "Everything is easier for you than the curse of Allah." Then he released him, and he said: "The curse of Allah be upon me if I am of the liars." Then she was summoned and he read to her, and she testified four times by Allah that he was indeed of the liars. Then he ordered that her mouth be held, and he admonished her, saying: "Woe to you, everything is easier than the wrath of Allah." Then he released her, and she said: "The wrath of Allah be upon me if he is of the truthful." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, I will surely judge between you with a decisive judgment." He said: She then gave birth, and I never saw a newborn in Medina more covered than him. He had said: "If she delivers him looking like this and this, then he is for this and this, and he is such and such." So she delivered him looking like the one with whom she was accused.
14184 - Abu Zur'ah narrated to us, Yahya ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Bukayr narrated to us, Ibn Lahi'ah narrated to me, 'Ata' ibn Dinar narrated to me, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr regarding His saying: "And the fifth [oath] is that the curse of Allah be upon him," meaning upon himself.

فَشَهِدَتِ الْخَامِسَةَ أَنَّ غَضَبَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ، قَالَ: وَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ لَا تُرْمَى، وَلا يُرْمَى وَلَدُهَا، وَمَنْ رَمَاهَا وَرَمَى وَلَدُهَا جُلِدَ الْحَدَّ، وَلَيْسَ لَهَا عَلَيْهِ قُوتٌ وَلا سُكْنَى، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُمَا يَتَفَرَّقَانِ بِغَيْرِ طَلاقٍ وَلا مُتَوَفًّى عَنْهَا، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَبْصِرُوهَا فَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أُثُيْبِجَ أُصَيْهِبْ أَرْسَحَ حَمْشَ السَّاقَيْنِ، فَهُوَ لِهِلالِ ابن أُمَيَّةَ، وَإِنَّ جَاءَتْ بِهِ خَدَلَّجَ السَّاقَيْنِ سَابِغَ الإِلْيَتَيْنِ أَوْرَقَ جَعْدًا جُمَالِيًّا، فَهُوَ لِصَاحِبِهِ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ أَوْرَقَ جَعْدًا جُمَالِيًّا خَدَلَّجَ السَّاقَيْنِ سَابِغَ الأَلْيَتَيْنِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَوْلا الأَيْمَانُ لَكَانَ لِي وَلَهَا أَمْرٌ، قَالَ عَبَّادٌ: فَسَمِعْتُ عِكْرِمَةَ يَقُولُ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ أَمِيرَ مِصْرٍ مِنَ الأَمْصَارِ لَا يَدْرِي من أبوه «١» .
قوله تعالى: والخامسة أن لعنت اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ
١٤١٨٣ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثنا صَالِحٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ، ثنا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَمَى امْرَأَتَهُ بِرَجُلٍ، فَكَرِهَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُرَدِّدُهُ حَتَّى أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ إِلا أَنْفُسُهُمْ فَقَرَأَ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنَ الآيَتَيْنِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمَا، فَدَعَاهُمَا فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الله جل وعز قد أَنْزَلَ فِيكُمَا، فَدَعَى الرَّجُلَ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ فَشَهِدَ أربع شهادات بالله إنه لمن الصَّادِقِينَ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُمْسِكَ عَلَى فِيهِ فَوَعَظَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ، كُلُّ شَيْءٍ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ لَعْنَةِ اللَّهِ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَهُ فَقَالَ: لَعْنَةُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ، ثُمَّ دُعِيَ بِهَا فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهَا فَشَهِدَتْ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَأُمْسِكَ عَلَى فِيهَا فَوَعَظَهَا وَقَالَ: وَيْحَكِ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ أَهْوَنُ مِنْ غَضَبِ اللَّهِ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَهَا فَقَالَتْ: غَضَبُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ. قَالَ: رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا قَضَاءً فَصْلا، قَالَ: فَوَلَدَتْ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ مَوْلُودًا بِالْمَدِينَةَ أَكْثَرَ غَاشِيَةً مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ لِكَذَا وَكَذَا فَهُوَ لِكَذَا وَكَذَا فَهُوَ كَذَا، فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ يُشْبِهُ الَّذِي قُذِفَتْ بِهِ.
