Hadith #409
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ رَجُلٌ قَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ
فَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْ بَنِي الْعَجْلَانِ وَقَالَ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمَا كَاذِبٌ فَهَلْ مِنْكُمَا تَائِبٌ فَأَبَيَا فَرَدَّدَهُمَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَأَبَيَا فَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا

English Translation
Isma'il narrated to us, Ayyub narrated to us, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr who said: I said to Ibn 'Umar: A man has accused his wife (of adultery, i.e., li'an). He said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ separated the two from Banu 'Ajlan (referring to the couple who went through li'an). He said: Allah knows that one of you two is a liar, so will one of you repent? He said this three times, but they refused. So he separated them.'
