Hadith 1

r of my children and son of my uncle. This has been happening during the pre-Islamic period. The wives were prohibited unto the husbands for ever! ’
He-saww said to her: ‘I-saww don’t think except that you are prohibited unto him to the end of times’. She was alarmed with severe panic, and she cried. Then she stood up and raised her hands towards the sky and said to Allah-azwj, ‘I complain to You-azwj of the separation of my husband! ’ The People-asws of the Household pitied her and they-asws wept and her crying. Allah-azwj Revealed unto His-azwj Prophet-saww: Allah has Heard the words of she who pleaded you regarding her husband and complained to Allah, and Allah Heard both your dialogues; surely Allah is Hearing, Seeing [58: 1] – up to His-azwj Words: And those who did pronounce Zihaar from their wives, then retracted what they had said, so you should free a neck before you touch each other, that is what you are Advised with, and Allah is Aware of what you are doing [58: 3] So one who cannot find (the means), then Fast two months consecutively before you touch each other. And one who is not capable, so he should feed sixty needy ones. [58: 4]. Rasool-Allah-saww said to her: ‘Tell your husband Al-Aws Bin Al Saamit to liberate a person (slave)’. She said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww, and where can a person (slave) be for him? No, by Allah-azwj, there is no servant for him apart from me! ’
He-saww said: ‘Fast two months consecutively’. She said, ‘He is an old man, he is not able upon the fasting’. He-saww said: ‘Instruct him to donate upon sixty poor ones’. She said, ‘And where can there be the charity for him? By Allah-azwj, there is no one needier than us! ’
He-saww said: ‘Tell him to go to Umm Al-Munzir, and let him take from her half a handful of dates, and let him donate upon sixty poor ones’. He-asws said: ‘She returned to Aws. He said to her, ‘What (news) is there behind you? ’ She said, ‘Good. Rasool-Allah-saww instructs you to go to Umm Al-Munzir, take half a handful of dates from her and donate it to sixty poor ones’. And similar to that is regarding the cursing. When Rasool-Allah-saww returned from the military expedition of Tabuk, Uweymir Bin Al-Haris Al-Ajlany stood to him. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! My wife has committed adultery with Shareek Bin Al-Samkhat! ’
He-saww turned away from him. He repeated the words to him-saww. He-saww turned away from him. He repeated for a third time. He-saww stood up and entered (his-saww house). The (Verse of the) Curse was Revealed. He-saww came out to him. He-saww said: ‘Come to me-saww with your wife, for Allah-azwj has Revealed Quran (Verse) regarding you two! ’
He went and came with his wife, and her people came with her, and she was among the nobles of the Helpers. They arrived to Rasool-Allah-azwj while he-saww was praying Al-Asr Salat. When he-saww was free, he-saww faced towards them and said to them: ‘Both of you go to the pulpit and curse each other! ’
Uweymir proceeded to the pulpit. Rasool-Allah-saww recited to them the Verse of the Curse: And those who accuse their wives and there do not happen to be any witnesses for them except for their own selves, so the testimony of one of them is four testimonies with Allah that he is from the truthful ones [24: 6]
