حدثني محمد بن بشار، حدثنا ابن أبي عدي، عن هشام بن حسان، حدثنا عكرمة، عن ابن عباس، أن هلال بن أمية، قذف امرأته عند النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بشريك بن سحماء، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " البينة أو حد في ظهرك ". فقال يا رسول الله إذا رأى أحدنا على امرأته رجلا ينطلق يلتمس البينة. فجعل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " البينة وإلا حد في ظهرك " فقال هلال والذي بعثك بالحق إني لصادق، فلينزلن الله ما يبرئ ظهري من الحد، فنزل جبريل، وأنزل عليه {والذين يرمون أزواجهم} فقرأ حتى بلغ {إن كان من الصادقين} فانصرف النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فأرسل إليها فجاء هلال، فشهد، والنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " إن الله يعلم أن أحدكما كاذب فهل منكما تائب ". ثم قامت فشهدت فلما كانت عند الخامسة وقفوها، وقالوا إنها موجبة. قال ابن عباس فتلكأت ونكصت حتى ظننا أنها ترجع ثم قالت لا أفضح قومي سائر اليوم، فمضت. فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " أبصروها فإن جاءت به أكحل العينين سابغ الأليتين خدلج الساقين، فهو لشريك بن سحماء ". فجاءت به كذلك، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " لولا ما مضى من كتاب الله لكان لي ولها شأن ".
Hilal bin Umaiya accused his wife of committing illegal sexual intercourse with Sharik bin Sahma'
and filed the case before the Prophet. The Prophet said (to Hilal), "Either you bring forth a proof (four
witnesses) or you will receive the legal punishment (lashes) on your back." Hilal said, "O Allah's
Apostle! If anyone of us saw a man over his wife, would he go to seek after witnesses?" The Prophet
kept on saying, "Either you bring forth the witnesses or you will receive the legal punishment (lashes)
on your back." Hilal then said, "By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I am telling the truth and Allah
will reveal to you what will save my back from legal punishment." Then Gabriel came down and
revealed to him:--
'As for those who accuse their wives...' (24.6-9) The Prophet recited it till he reached: '... (her
accuser) is telling the truth.' Then the Prophet left and sent for the woman, and Hilal went (and
brought) her and then took the oaths (confirming the claim). The Prophet was saying, "Allah knows
that one of you is a liar, so will any of you repent?" Then the woman got up and took the oaths and
when she was going to take the fifth one, the people stopped her and said, "It (the fifth oath) will
definitely bring Allah's curse on you (if you are guilty)." So she hesitated and recoiled (from taking
the oath) so much that we thought that she would withdraw her denial. But then she said, "I will not
dishonor my family all through these days," and carried on (the process of taking oaths). The Prophet
then said, "Watch her; if she delivers a black-eyed child with big hips and fat shins then it is Sharik
bin Sahma's child." Later she delivered a child of that description. So the Prophet said, "If the case
was not settled by Allah's Law, I would punish her severely."
