Sahih al-Bukhari 4746 (Book 65, Hadith 268) #4529
The Islamic Ruling of Mula'ana

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the Islamic ruling of Mula'ana, which is a process of reconciliation between spouses who are involved in a dispute.

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd: A man came to Allah's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! Suppose a man saw another man with his wife, should he kill him whereupon you might kill him (ie the killer) (in Qisas) or what should he do?" So Allah revealed concerning their case what is mentioned of the order of Mula'ana. Allah's Apostle said to the man, "The matter between you and your wife has been decided". So they did Mula'ana in the presence of Allah's Messenger ﷺ and I was present there, and then the man divorced his wife. So it became a tradition to dissolve the marriage of those spouses who were involved in a case of Mula'ana. The woman was pregnant and the husband denied that he was the cause of her pregnancy, so the son was (later) ascribed to her. Then it became a tradition that such a son would be the heir of his mother, and she would inherit of him what Allah prescribed for her.
حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلاً رَأَى مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً أَيَقْتُلُهُ فَتَقْتُلُونَهُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَفْعَلُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمَا مَا ذُكِرَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِنَ التَّلاَعُنِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏ "‏ قَدْ قُضِيَ فِيكَ وَفِي امْرَأَتِكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ فَتَلاَعَنَا، وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَفَارَقَهَا فَكَانَتْ سُنَّةً أَنْ يُفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ وَكَانَتْ حَامِلاً، فَأَنْكَرَ حَمْلَهَا وَكَانَ ابْنُهَا يُدْعَى إِلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ جَرَتِ السُّنَّةُ فِي الْمِيرَاثِ أَنْ يَرِثَهَا، وَتَرِثَ مِنْهُ مَا فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَهَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the Islamic ruling of Mula’ana, which is a process used to reconcile spouses who are involved in a dispute. It was narrated by Sahl bin Sa'd that a man came to Prophet Muhammad and asked what he should do if he saw another man with his wife. In response, Allah revealed the order of Mula’ana and Prophet Muhammad instructed them to use this process for reconciliation. As part of this process, the husband divorced his wife and she was given custody rights over her son even though her husband denied being responsible for her pregnancy. This tradition has been passed down since then as an important part of Islamic law when it comes to resolving disputes between spouses. The main values taught by this hadith include forgiveness, patience, understanding and respect for one another in marriage relationships as well as upholding justice through legal processes such as mula’ana when needed.
