Hadith 699
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الأَحْمَسِيُّ ، قَالَ : ثنا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، قَالَ : ثنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سَبْرَةَ الْجُهَنِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا عُمْرَتَنَا ، قَالَ لَنَا : " اسْتَمْتِعُوا مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ ، وَالاسْتِمْتَاعُ عِنْدَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ التَّزْوِيجُ ، قَالَ : فَعَرَضْنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ ، فَأَبَيْنَ إِلا أَنْ نَضْرِبَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُنَّ أَجَلا ، قَالَ : فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : افْعَلُوا ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي مَعِيَ بُرْدَةٌ ، وَبُرْدَتُهُ أَجْوَدُ مِنْ بُرْدَتِي ، وَأَنَا أَشَبُّ مِنْهُ ، قَالَ : فَأَتَيْنَا امْرَأَةً فَعَرَضْنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَأَعْجَبَهَا شَبَابِي وَأَعْجَبَهَا بُرْدُ ابْنِ عَمِّي ، فَقَالَتْ : بُرْدٌ كَبُرْدٍ ، فَتَزَوَّجْتُهَا ، وَكَانَ الأَجَلُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهَا عَشْرًا ، قَالَ : فَبِتُّ عِنْدَهَا تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ غَادِيًا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ الْحَجَرِ وَالْباب قَائِمٌ يَخْطُبُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : يَأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، أَلا إِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَذِنْتُ لَكُمْ فِي الاسْتِمْتَاعِ مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ ، أَلا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، فَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا فَلْيُخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا ، وَلا تَأْخُذُوا مِمَّا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ شَيْئًا " .
Sayyiduna Sabrah bin Ma’bad Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for (‘Umrah). When we had performed ‘Umrah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You may benefit from these women (mut‘ah). In those days, the way to benefit was through marriage. So we proposed marriage to the women, but they refused unless we fixed a term between us and them. We mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: Fix a term. The narrator says: My cousin and I set out (for mut‘ah). I had a cloak, and my cousin’s cloak was better than mine, but I was younger than him. We went to a woman and presented our purpose to her. She liked my youth, and she liked my cousin’s cloak. She said: The cloaks are the same. So I married her, and we agreed on a term of ten days. I spent that night with her, and the next morning I went to the mosque early. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing between the Hatim and the door (of the Ka‘bah) delivering a sermon: O people! I had permitted you to benefit from these women. Listen! Allah has forbidden this (mut‘ah) until the Day of Resurrection. Therefore, whoever has such a woman with him, let him set her free, and do not take back anything you have given her.
