Respect for marriage , Responsibility towards children , Avoidance of cursing others .

This hadith is about a man and woman who were married but then pronounced Li’an on each other. Li’an is an Arabic term which means to curse one another in front of two witnesses. In this case, the Prophet Muhammad separated them and decided that the child should stay with its mother. This hadith teaches us that even when couples are facing difficult times in their marriage, they should not resort to cursing each other as it will only lead to separation. It also teaches us that children should be taken care of by their mothers if there is a divorce or separation between parents.
