حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ شَهِدْتُ الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ وَأَنَا ابْنُ خَمْسَ، عَشْرَةَ، فَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا فَقَالَ زَوْجُهَا كَذَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا إِنْ أَمْسَكْتُهَا. قَالَ فَحَفِظْتُ ذَاكَ مِنَ الزُّهْرِيِّ ‏ "‏ إِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَهْوَ، وَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا كَأَنَّهُ وَحَرَةٌ فَهُوَ ‏"‏. وَسَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ يَقُولُ جَاءَتْ بِهِ لِلَّذِي يُكْرَهُ

English translation
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: I witnessed the case of Lian (the case of a man who charged his wife for committing illegal sexual intercourse when I was fifteen years old. The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that they be divorced, and the husband said, "If I kept her, I would be a liar." I remember that Az-Zubair also said, "(It was said) that if that woman brought forth the child with such-and-such description, her husband would prove truthful, but if she brought it with such-and-such description looking like a Wahra (a red insect), he would prove untruthful." I heard Az-Zubair also saying, "Finally she gave birth to a child of description which her husband disliked
বাংলা অনুবাদ
সাহল ইবনু সা‘দ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি দু’জন লি‘আনকারীর ক্ষেত্রে দেখেছি যে, তাদের উভয়ের মাঝে বিচ্ছেদ ঘটানো হয়েছে। আমি তখন পনের বছরের যুবক ছিলাম। এরপর তার স্বামী বলল, আমি যদি তাকে রেখে দেই তাহলে তার উপর আমি মিথ্যা আরোপ করেছি। বর্ণনাকারী বলেন, আমি যুহরী (রহ.) থেকে তা স্মরণ রেখেছি যে, যদি সে এমন এমন গঠনের সন্তান জন্ম দেয় তাহলে সে সত্যবাদী। আর যদি এমন এমন গঠনের সন্তান জন্ম দেয় যেন টিকটিকির মত লাল, তাহলে সে মিথ্যাচারী। আমি যুহরী (রহ.)-কে বলতে শুনেছি যে, সে সন্তানটি ঘৃণ্য আকৃতির জন্ম নেয়। [৪২৩] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৩৭৭, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
