Sahl bin Sad al-Saidi reported thatUwaimir al-Ajlani came to Asim bin Adi al-Ansari and said to him. Tell me about a person who finds a man with his wife; should he kill him, and be killed in retaliation; or how should he act? Asim, ask for me (religious verdict about it) from Allahs Messenger ﷺ . So Asim asked Allahs Messenger ﷺ and he did not like this question and he disapproved of it so much thatAsim felt aggrieved at what he had heard from Allahs Messenger ﷺ . When Asim came back to his family, Uwaimir came to him and said: Asim, what did Allahs Messenger ﷺ say to you? Asim said to Uwaimir: You did not bring something good. Allahs Messenger ﷺ did not like this religious verdict that I sought from him. Uwaimir said: By Allah, I will not rest until I have asked him about it. Uwaimir proceeded until he came to Allahs Messenger ﷺ as he was sitting amidst people, and said: Messenger of Allah, tell me about a person who found a man with his wife. Should he kill him, and then you would kill him, or how should he act? Thereupon Allahs Messenger ﷺ said: (Verses) have been revealed concerning you and your wife; so go and bring her. Sahl said that they both invoked curses (and further said): I was along with people in the company of Allahs Messenger ﷺ . And when they had finished, Uwaimir said: Allahs Messenger, I shall have told a lie against her if I keep her (now). So he divorced her with three pronouncements before Allahs Messenger ﷺ had commanded him. Ibn Shihab said: Subsequently that was the practice of invokers of curses (al Mutalainain)
