Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ فَتَكَلَّمَ لَيُجْلَدَنَّ وَإِنْ قَتَلَهُ لَيُقْتَلَنَّ وَلَئِنْ سَكَتَ لَيَسْكُتَنَّ عَلَى غَيْظٍ وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ أَصْبَحْتُ لَآتِيَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَئِنْ وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا فَتَكَلَّمَ لَيُجْلَدَنَّ وَإِنْ قَتَلَهُ لَيُقْتَلَنَّ وَإِنْ سَكَتَ لَيَسْكُتَنَّ عَلَى غَيْظٍ وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ الْمُلَاعَنَةُ { وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ إِلَّا أَنْفُسُهُمْ } الْآيَةَ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad al-Muharibi, from al-A'mash, from Ibrahim — others say: from 'Alqama — that 'Abdullah said: 'While we were in the mosque on Thursday night, a man from the Ansar said: By Allah, if a man finds a man with his wife and speaks [about it], he will be lashed; if he kills him, he will be killed; and if he stays silent, he will bear his rage in silence. By Allah, if morning comes I will go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When morning came, he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, if a man finds a man with his wife and speaks, he will be lashed; if he kills him, he will be killed; if he stays silent, he stays silent in rage. And he kept saying: O Allah, open [a way]! O Allah, open! Then the verse of mutual li'an was revealed: 'And those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except themselves...' [24:6] — the verse.'
