Sahih al-Bukhari 5350

Hadith text

Narrated Ibn `Umar:The Prophet (ﷺ) said to those who were involved in a case of Lian, "Your accounts are with Allah. One of you two is a liar. You (husband) have right on her (wife)." The husband said, "My money, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You are not entitled to take back any money. If you have told the truth, the Mahr that you paid, was for having sexual relations with her lawfully; and if you are a liar, then you are less entitled to get it back

Ibn Umar bataate hain: Nabi (SAW) ne Lian mein shaamil logon se kaha, 'Tumhaara hisaab Allah ke zimme hai. Tum dono mein se ek jhoota hai. Tumhein (shohar ko) uspar (koi) haq nahi.' Shohar ne kaha, 'Mera maal, Aye Allah ke Rasool!' Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Tumhein koi bhi maal wapas lene ka haq nahi. Agar tumne sach kaha, to jo Mahr tumne diya wo unke saath jaayez tareeke se humbistari karne ke liye tha; aur agar tum jhoote ho, to tumhein use wapas lene ka aur bhi kam haq hai.'
