The Book of Marriage

٢٦-

كتاب النكاح

Malik bin Anas narrated that Ibn Shihab told him that Abdullah and Al-Hasan, the sons of Muhammad bin Ali (رضي الله تعالى عنه), told him, that their father Muhammad bin Ali ( رضي الله تعالى عنه) told them, that Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله تعالى عنه) said, the Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), on the Day of Khaibar, forbade temporary marriage to women.’ (One of the narrators) Ibn Al-Muthanna said, ‘the Day of Hunain.’ He said, this is what Abdul Wahhab narrated to us from his book.’

Ar-Rabi' bin Sabrah Al-Juhani narrated that his father said, the Apostle of Allah ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) gave permission for Mut'ah, so I and another man went to a woman from Bani 'Amir and offered ourselves to her (for Mut'ah). She said, 'what will you give me?' I said, 'my Rida' (upper garment).' My companion also said, 'his Rida'.' My companion's Rida' was finer than mine, but I was younger than him. When she looked at my companion's Rida' she liked it, but when she looked at me, she liked me. Then she said, 'you and your Rida' are sufficient for me.' I stayed with her for three (days), then the Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said, 'whoever has any of these women whom he married temporarily should let them go.'
