Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، أَخِي بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلاً وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً، أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَلاَعَنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ‏.‏

Translation

Sahl, a man of Banū Sāʿida, reported that a man from the Anṣār came to the Prophet and said, “What do you think of a man who finds another man with his wife? Should he kill him?” They then performed mutual imprecation in the mosque, and I was present.

Translation notes
  • The report gives the man’s question and then states that the couple engaged in liʿān (mutual imprecation) in the mosque, with the narrator present. It does not supply further details here.
