Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Details of Al-Li`anThis Ayah offers a way out for husbands. If a husband has accused his wife but cannot come up with proof, he can swear the Li`an (the oath of condemnation) as Allah commanded. This means that he brings her before the Imam and states what he is accusing her of. The ruler then asks him to swear four times by Allah in front of four witnessesإِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّـدِقِينَ(that he is one of those who speak the truth) in his accusation of her adultery.
