Uwaimir, a man from Banu 'Ajlan, came and said: 'O 'Asim, what do you think if a man sees another man with his wife, should he kill him and be killed in retaliation, or what should he do? O 'Asim, ask the Messenger of Allah about that for me.' So 'Asim asked the Messenger of Allah about that, and the Messenger of Allah disapproved of the question and criticized the asking of too many questions. Then 'Uwaimir came to him and said: What happened, O 'Asim? 'Asim said to 'Uwaimir: What happened?! You have not brought me any good. The Messenger of Allah disapproved of the question I asked. 'Uwaimir said: By Allah, I will go and ask the Messenger of Allah. So he went to the Messenger of Allah and asked him. The Messenger of Allah said: Allah the Mighty and Sublime has revealed (something) concerning you and your wife, so bring her here. Sahl said: I was among the people in the presence of the Messenger of Allah and he brought her and they engaged in the procedure of Li'an. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, by Allah! If I keep her I would have been telling lies about her.' So he parted from her before the Messenger of Allah told him to separate from her, and that became the way of Li'an.

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Mahmud bin Ghailan berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Zaid bin Al Hubab berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Sufyan dari Manshur dari Ibrahim dari 'Alqamah dari Ibnu Mas'ud bahwa ia ditanya mengenai seorang laki-laki yang menikahi seorang wanita ia belum menentukan mahar dan belum menggaulinya hingga meninggal. Ibnu Mas'ud berkata Wanita tersebut berhak mendapatkan mahar sebagai seorang wanita tidak ada pengurangan dan kezhaliman ia wajib ber'iddah dan mendapatkan warisan. Kemudian Ma'qil bin Sinan Al Asyja'i berdiri dan berkata Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam telah memberikan keputusan pada kami terhadap Barwa' binti Wasyiq seorang wanita di antara kami seperti apa yang telah engkau putuskan. Maka Ibnu Mas'ud merasa senang.
