حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ ذَكَرَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ هِيَ الَّتِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لَوْ كُنْتُ رَاجِمًا امْرَأَةً عَنْ غَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ ‏" ‏‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ، تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ أَعْلَنَتْ‏.‏

ʿAli ibn ʿAbdullah narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us: Abu al-Zinad narrated to us, from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, who said: Ibn ʿAbbas mentioned the couple who invoked mutual imprecation. ʿAbdullah ibn Shaddad said, “She is the woman about whom the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘If I were to stone a woman without evidence…’” Ibn ʿAbbas said, “No, that was a woman who made it public.”
