Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`idi:'Uwaimir Al-Ajlani came to `Asim bin Ad Al-Ansari and said to him, "O `Asim! Suppose a man saw another man with his wife, would he kill him whereupon you would kill him; or what should he do? Please, O `Asim, ask about this on my behalf." `Asim asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), disliked that question and considered it disgraceful. What `Asim heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was hard on him. When `Asim returned to his family, 'Uwaimir came to him and said, "O `Asim! What did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). say to you?" `Asim said to 'Uwaimir, "You never bring me any good. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) disliked the problem which I asked him about." 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not give up this matter until I ask the Prophet (ﷺ) about it." So 'Uwaimir proceeded till he came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the midst of people, and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! If a man sees another man with his wife, would he kill him, whereupon you would kill him, or what should he do?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah has revealed some decree as regards you and your wives case. Go and bring her." So they carried out the process of Lian while I was present among the people with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). When they had finished their Lian, 'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! If I should now keep her with me as a wife, then I have told a lie." So he divorced her thrice before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered him. (Ibn Shihab said: So divorce was the tradition for all those who were involved in a case of Lian.)

It is related that Sahl ibn Sa'd as-Sa'idi reported that 'Umaymir al-'Ajlani came to 'Asim ibn 'Adi al-Ansari and said to him, "'Asim, what do you say about a man who finds another man with his wife? Should he kill him and then you kill him in turn? What else should he do? 'Asim, ask the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about that.' 'Asim asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about that, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, disliked such questions and considered them to be blameworthy. What 'Asim heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say was hard on him. When 'Asim returned to his family, 'Umaymir came and said, ''Asim, what did the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say to you?' 'Asim said, 'You have not brought me any good! The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, disliked the question which I asked him about.' 'Uwaymir said, 'By Allah, I will not stop until I ask the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about that!' "So 'Uwaymir went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who was in the middle of the people and said, 'Messenger of Allah, if a man finds another man with his wife, should he kill him and then you kill him in turn? What else should he do?' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Allah has sent down revelation about you and your wife. Go and bring her.'" Sahl said, "They cursed one another while I was with the people in the presence of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. When they finished, 'Umaymir said, 'I would be lying about her if I were to keep her, Messenger of Allah.' So he divorced her three times before the Messenger of Allah , may Allah bless him and grant him peace, commanded him to do so." Ibn Shihab said, "That was the sunna for those who curse one another in the li'an." [Same as 8185]
