Summary
Malik says that God, blessed and exalted, spoke about those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses but themselves: the testimony of each is four testimonies by God, then a fifth invoking the curse if he is a liar. The woman averts punishment by giving four testimonies, then a fifth calling down wrath if he is truthful. He cites the verses of Surat al-Nur. 1
