A man and his wife had a case of Lian (or Mula'ana) during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the man denied the paternity of her child. The Prophet (ﷺ) gave his verdict for their separation (divorce) and then the child was regarded as belonging to the wife only.

':'Telah menceritakan kepadaku Yahya bin Qoza'ah telah menceritakan kepada kami Malik dari Nafi' dari Ibnu 'Umar radliallahu 'anhuma; ada seorang lelaki meli'an isterinya di zaman Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam dan tidak mengakui anaknya maka Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam memisah keduanya dan memasrahkan anak kepada si wanita (ibu bayi).'
