Prohibition of temporary marriage and donkey meat at Khaybar
Hadith 37
37 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا الزُّهْرِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي حَسَنٌ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ ابْنَا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِمَا، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَي عَنْ نِكَاحِ الْمُتْعَةِ، وَعَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الْأَهْلِيَّةِ زَمَنَ خَيْبَرَ» ¤ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ يَعْنِي أَنَّهُ نَهَي عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ زَمَنَ خَيْبَرَ لاَ يَعْنِي نِكَاحَ الْمُتْعَةِ
Muhammad bin Hanafiyyah narrates: Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade temporary marriage (Nikah Mut'ah) and the eating of the meat of domesticated donkeys at the time of (the battle of) Khaybar. Sufyan says that by this narration it is meant that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the eating of the meat of domesticated donkeys at the time of the battle of Khaybar. Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) did not mean that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also forbade temporary marriage at that time. (Rather, the prohibition of temporary marriage was given later.)
