'Uwaimir came to bin who was the chief of Banî Ajlân and said, "What do you say about a man who has found another man with his wife? Should he kill him whereupon you would kill him (i.e. the husband), or what should he do? Please ask Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) about this matter on my behalf. ' Aşim then went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)! " (And asked him that question) but Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) disliked the question and considered it shameful. When ' Uwaimir asked ' Aşim (about the Prophet's answer), he replied that Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) disliked such questions and considered it shameful. ' Uwaimir then said, By Allâh, I will not give up asking unless I ask Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) about it." ' Uwaimir came (to the Prophet ﷺ) and said, "O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)! A man has found another man with his wife ! Should he kill him whereupon you would kill him (the husband, in Al-Qisas) [1] or what should he do?" Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allâh has revealed regarding you and your wife's case in the Qur'ân ". So Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ), ordered them to perform the measures of] according to what Allâh had mentioned in His Book. So ' Uwaimir did Mulâ'ana with her and said, "O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)! If I kept her I would oppress her." So ' Uwaimir divorced her and so divorce became a tradition after them for those who happened to be involved in a case of Mula'ana. Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) then said, "Look ! If she (Uwaimir's wife) delivers a black child with deep black large eyes, big hips and fat legs, then I will be of the opinion that ' Uwaimir has spoken the truth; but if she delivers a red child looking like a Waḥara³] then we will consider that ' Uwaimir has told a lie against her." Later on she delivered a child carrying the qualities which Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) had mentioned as a proof for ' Uwaimir's claim; therefore the child was ascribed to its mother henceforth. [6:269-O.B]
