حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ لاَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَ الْعَجْلاَنِيِّ وَامْرَأَتِهِ وَكَانَتْ حُبْلَى ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad bin Ali informed us; Muhammad bin Abi Bakr narrated to us; Umar bin Ali narrated to us; Ibrahim bin Uqbah narrated to us, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-Qasim bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah performed li'an between al-Ajlani and his wife, who was pregnant.

Translation notes
  • Li'an is the formal mutual imprecation procedure used when a husband accuses his wife of adultery without witnesses.
