أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَرَ رَجُلاً حِينَ أَمَرَ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ أَنْ يَتَلاَعَنَا أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عِنْدَ الْخَامِسَةِ عَلَى فِيهِ وَقَالَ " إِنَّهَا مُوجِبَةٌ " .
Ali bin Maymun informed us; Sufyan narrated to us, from Asim bin Kulayb, from his father, from Ibn Abbas, that when the Prophet ordered a man and woman to perform li'an, he instructed the man to place his hand at the mouth at the fifth oath, and said, ‘It makes the consequence binding.’
