Chapter 18.0

Whoever gave judgements of Li'an in the mosque

باب مَنْ قَضَى وَلاَعَنَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ

وَلاَعَنَ عُمَرُ عِنْدَ مِنْبَرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. وَقَضَى شُرَيْحٌ وَالشَّعْبِيُّ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْمَرَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، وَقَضَى مَرْوَانُ عَلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ بِالْيَمِينِ عِنْدَ الْمِنْبَرِ. وَكَانَ الْحَسَنُ وَزُرَارَةُ بْنُ أَوْفَى يَقْضِيَانِ فِي الرَّحَبَةِ خَارِجًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، أَخِي بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلاً وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً، أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَلاَعَنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ‏.‏

English translation

Narrated Sahl:

(the brother of Bani Sa`ida) A man from the Ansar came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "If a man finds another man sleeping with his wife, should he kill him?" That man and his wife then did Lian in the mosque while I was present.
