حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ هِلاَلَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ، قَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِشَرِيكِ بْنِ سَحْمَاءَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " الْبَيِّنَةُ أَوْ حَدٌّ فِي ظَهْرِكَ ". فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُنَا عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً يَنْطَلِقُ يَلْتَمِسُ الْبَيِّنَةَ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ " الْبَيِّنَةَ وَإِلاَّ حَدٌّ فِي ظَهْرِكَ ". فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ اللِّعَانِ.

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Ibn Abi ʿAdi narrated to us, from Hisham, who said: ʿIkrima narrated to us, from Ibn ʿAbbas, may Allah be pleased with them both: Hilal ibn Umayya accused his wife, in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, of having committed adultery with Sharik ibn Sahmaʾ. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Produce evidence, or a prescribed punishment will be on your back.” He said: “Messenger of Allah, if one of us sees a man with his wife, should he go and seek evidence?” The Prophet ﷺ kept saying: “Evidence, or a prescribed punishment on your back.” Then he mentioned the report of liʿan.
