Sahih al-Bukhari 5101 (Book 68, Hadith 60)
`Umar said, “The Prophet (ﷺ) separated (by divorce) the couple of Bani Al-Ajlan, and said, (to them),
‘Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent?’ But both of them refused. He
again said, ‘Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent?’ But both of them
refused. So he separated them by divorce.” (Aiyub, a sub-narrator said: `Amr bin Dinar said to me,
“There is something else in this Hadith which you have not mentioned. It goes thus: The man said,
‘What about my money (i.e. the Mahr that I have given to my wife)?’ It was said, ‘You have no right to
restore any money, for if you have spoken the truth (as regards the accusation), you have also
consummated your marriage with her; and if you have told a lie, you are less rightful to have your
money back.’ “)
Sahih al-Bukhari 5101 (Book 68, Hadith 60)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
