Sunan an-Nasa'i 3481
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ شُعَيْبٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يُونُسَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ حِينَ نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمُلاَعَنَةِ " أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ أَدْخَلَتْ عَلَى قَوْمٍ رَجُلاً لَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ فَلَيْسَتْ مِنَ اللَّهِ فِي شَىْءٍ وَلاَ يُدْخِلُهَا اللَّهُ جَنَّتَهُ وَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ جَحَدَ وَلَدَهُ وَهُوَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ احْتَجَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْهُ وَفَضَحَهُ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الأَوَّلِينَ وَالآخِرِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abd al-Hakam informed us; Shu'ayb said: al-Layth narrated to us, from Ibn al-Had, from Abdullah bin Yunus, from Sa'id bin Abi Sa'id al-Maqburi, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: He heard the Messenger of Allah say, when the verse of li'an was revealed: ‘Any woman who brings into a family a man who is not one of them has no share in Allah's favor, and Allah will not admit her to Paradise. And any man who denies his child while looking at him, Allah will be veiled from him and will expose him before all people, from the first to the last, on the Day of Resurrection.’
Translation notes
The first clause concerns falsely attributing a child to a family. Li'an is the formal mutual imprecation procedure used when a husband accuses his wife of adultery without witnesses.
