حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ جِبْرَائِيلَ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ رُومَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ أَعْطَى فِي صَدَاقِ امْرَأَةٍ مِلْءَ كَفَّيْهِ سَوِيقًا أَوْ تَمْرًا فَقَدِ اسْتَحَلَّ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ رُومَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ مَوْقُوفًا . وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ رُومَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَسْتَمْتِعُ بِالْقُبْضَةِ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ عَلَى مَعْنَى الْمُتْعَةِ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَاهُ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَلَى مَعْنَى أَبِي عَاصِمٍ .
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone gives as a dower to his wife two handfuls of flour or dates he has made her lawful for him. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Abdur Rahman ibn Mahdi, from Salih ibn Ruman, from Abu al-Zubayr on the authority of Jabir as his own statement (not going back to the Prophet). It has also been transmitted by Abu Asim from Salih ibn Ruman, from Abuz Zubayr on the authority of Jabir who said: During the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we used to contract temporary marriage for a handful of grain. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Ibn Juraij from Abu al-Zubair on the authority of Jabir similar to the one narrated by Abu Asim.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Nikah Mut'ah was permissible before Khaybar, and even after that it remained permissible for some periods.
However, on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, it was completely prohibited.
This incident could have occurred before the revelation of its prohibition, and the main point in it is the mention of the minimum dowry (mahr), which is an essential component of a legally valid (shar'i halal) marriage.
All other aspects of Mut'ah have been abrogated and declared unlawful.
