Sunan Abi Dawud 2258 (Book 13, Hadith 84) #22549
Adultery Accusation and Separation

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man accusing his wife of adultery and the Prophet (PBUH) separating them from each other after they refused to repent.

Sa’d bin Jubair said I asked Ibn 'Umar A man accused his wife of adultery? He said "The Apostle of Allaah separated the brother and the sister of Banu Al 'Ajilan (ie, husband and wife). He said Allaah knows that one of you is a liar, will one of you repent? He repeated these words three times, but they refused. So he separated them from each other.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عُمَرَ رَجُلٌ قَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بَيْنَ أَخَوَىْ بَنِي الْعَجْلاَنِ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمَا كَاذِبٌ ‏.‏ فَهَلْ مِنْكُمَا تَائِبٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ يُرَدِّدُهَا ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَأَبَيَا فَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Do not accuse someone without proof; Respect marriage; Seek repentance to resolve conflicts between people
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man who accused his wife of adultery. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ then asked them if one of them would repent, but they refused. As a result, the Prophet ﷺ separated them from each other. This hadith teaches us that we should not accuse someone without proof and that repentance is important in Islam as it can help resolve conflicts between people. It also shows us that even if two people are married, if one accuses the other of something serious like adultery, then separation may be necessary for justice to be served.
