Sayyidina Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that Hilal ibn Umayyah accused his wife of committing adultery with Shank ibn Sahma. So Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said, “Either you bring wit-ness or you will face the hadd (lashes) on your back.” He said, “If one of us sees a man over his wife, will he seek witnesses”? But, Allah’s Messenger ﷺ insisted, “Witness, or the prescribed punishment on you back.” So Hilal said, “By Him who has sent you with the truth, this is true (I am true) and surely there will be revealed for my case that which will free my back from the prescribed punishment.” So, the revelation came: " And for those who launch a charge against their spouses, and have (in support) no evidence but their own,- their solitary evidence (can be received) if they bear witness four times (with an oath) by Allah that they are solemnly telling the truth." (24:6) And he recited till he came to; "And the fifth (oath) should be that she solemnly invokes the wrath of Allah on herself if (her accuser) is telling the truth." (24:9) The Prophet ﷺ left and summoned both of them. The came and Hill stood up and gave the testimony. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Surely Allah knows that one of you is a liar. So is there among you two, who repents?" Then the woman stood up and bore testimony. When she was about to give the fifth testimony that Allahs wrath be upon her if he is the truthful, the people around her said to her, "It will make punishment definite." Ibn Abbas (RA) said, "She hesitated and stopped short of taking oath. So we presumed that she would repent and withdraw her testimony." But she said, "I shall not fail my people all through the day." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Watch her, if she bears a child with large black eyes, fat hips and thick thighs then the child belongs to Sharik bin Sharma." Indeed, that is what happened. The Prophet ﷺ said, "If what has been prescribed in the Book of Allah had not come down, then there would have been something else between us and her." (I would have given her the Hadd)
