Hadith 3080
Musnad of 'Abdullah bin al-'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib from the Prophet
It was narrated from al-Qasim bin Muhammad that he heard Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) say:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered al-'Ajlani and his wife to engage in li'an. She was pregnant and he said: By Allah, I have not come near her since watering the palm trees after not watering them for two months following pollination. Her husband had thin legs and arms and reddish hair, and the one concerning whom she was accused was Ibn as-Sahma'. She gave birth to a boy with dark skin, a high forehead, curly hair and chubby arms, Ibn Shaddad bin al-Had said to Ibn 'Abbas: Was she the woman concerning whom the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "If I were to stone anyone without proof I would have stoned her"? He said: No, that was a woman who was known (for immorality) at the time of Islam.
