وعن جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال : « من أعطى في صداق امرأة سويقا أو تمرا فقد استحل ». أخرجه أبو داود ، وأشار إلى ترجيح وقفه.
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "If anyone gives as a dowry to a woman some flour or dates, he has made her lawful for himself." [Abu Dawud reported it, and indicated that the stronger opinion is that it is Mawquf (saying of a Companion)].

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.
