[24].Surah An-Nur [The Light]: Ayat 8-9




৮. তবে স্ত্রীর শাস্তি রহিত হইবে যদি সে আল্লাহর নামে শপথ করিয়া সাক্ষ্য দেয় যে, তাহার স্বামীই মিথ্যাবাদী,
৯. এবং পঞ্চমবার বলে যে, তাহার স্বামী সত্যবাদী হইলে তাহার নিজের উপর নামিয়া আসিবে আল্রাহর গযব।



Ayat 8. But it shall avert the punishment (of stoning to death) from her, if she bears witness four times by Allah, that he (her husband) is telling a lie.
Ayat 9. And the fifth (testimony) should be that the Wrath of Allah be upon her if he (her husband) speaks the truth.

[Tafseer] of Ayat 8. But she would avert the punishment from herself, if she take oath and bears witness four times saying "By Allah, that her husband is telling a lie and accusing her falsely; And the fifth (oath) should be that she solemnly invokes the wrath of Allah on herself if (her accuser) is telling the truth, and they should apart from each other and not allowed to live as husband and wife.

Hazrat Adi bin Hatim At-Ta'i (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) say: "He who has taken an oath (to do something) but found something else better than that (which brings him closer to Allah), then he should do that which is better in piety (and he should expiate for the breaking of oath)".
[Muslim Book 015 Hadith # 4057]. 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah An-Nur Ayat 09."Wrath of Allah be upon her if he (her husband) speaks the truth" This Hadith emphasizes the importance of having the fear of Allah. So much so that if somebody has made a vow to commit some sin he should break it, arrange for its expiation and keep himself away from that sin or any other act that contravenes the fear of Allah.
