Hadith 3370

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : " أَذِنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمُتْعَةِ ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ ، فَعَرَضْنَا عَلَيْهَا أَنْفُسَنَا ، فَقَالَتْ : مَا تُعْطِينِي ؟ فَقُلْتُ : رِدَائِي ، وَقَالَ صَاحِبِي : رِدَائِي ، وَكَانَ رِدَاءُ صَاحِبِي أَجْوَدَ مِنْ رِدَائِي ، وَكُنْتُ أَشَبَّ مِنْهُ ، فَإِذَا نَظَرَتْ إِلَى رِدَاءِ صَاحِبِي أَعْجَبَهَا ، وَإِذَا نَظَرَتْ إِلَيَّ أَعْجَبْتُهَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ : أَنْتَ وَرِدَاؤُكَ يَكْفِينِي ، فَمَكَثْتُ مَعَهَا ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي يَتَمَتَّعُ ، فَلْيُخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا " .
´It was narrated from Ar-Rabi' bin Sabrah Al-Juhani that his father said:` "The Messenger of Allah 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: 'My 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 Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever has any of these women whom he married temporarily should let them go.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
This is the incident of the Conquest of Makkah. The very person involved, Hazrat Sabrah al-Juhani radi Allahu anhu, has explicitly stated this. On this occasion, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: [إنَّ اللّٰہَ قَدْ حَرَّمَ ذٰالِك اِلیٰ یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَة ] meaning that Allah, the Exalted, has forbidden temporary marriage (mut‘ah) with women until the Day of Resurrection. For details, see: (Sahih Muslim, Book of Marriage, Chapter: The Marriage of Mut‘ah and Clarification that it was Permitted then Abrogated..., Hadith: 1406)

Benefits and Issues:
Among the marriages of the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah) was also the marriage of mut‘ah (temporary marriage), in which people would contract a marriage for a specified period. However, after the advent of Islam, it was prohibited at the time of the Battle of Khaybar. Then, a concession was granted for it, but at the conquest of Makkah, it was made permanently forbidden.

Except for the Rawafid (Rafidites), the rest of the Imams are unanimous in considering this act impermissible. The Rawafid have attributed the permissibility of mut‘ah to Ali radi Allahu anhu, whereas in Sahih al-Bukhari it is narrated from Ali radi Allahu anhu that he explicitly stated that the marriage of mut‘ah has been abrogated.

Benefits and Issues:
(1)
Our esteemed researcher, rahimahullah, writes regarding this hadith that it is authentic, but the mention of the Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajjat al-Wada‘) in it is not correct. The correct view is that this incident pertains to the Conquest of Makkah, as is narrated in Sahih Muslim. (Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Nikah, Chapter: Marriage of Mut‘ah..., Hadith: 1406)

(2)
The permission for mut‘ah (temporary marriage) was granted temporarily due to specific circumstances, after which it was made prohibited forever. Imam Nawawi, rahimahullah, has written the following heading for this hadith in his commentary on Sahih Muslim:
“The explanation of the marriage of mut‘ah: it was initially permissible, then its permissibility was abrogated, then it was permitted again, then it was abrogated again, and its prohibition remains established until the Day of Judgment.” (Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Nikah, Chapter: Marriage of Mut‘ah..., Hadith: 1405)
This is also evident from the ahadith of the first chapter of Sunan Ibn Majah, Kitab al-Nikah (Hadith: 1845, 1846), because the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) instructed young men who could not afford marriage to observe fasting. If mut‘ah marriage had been permissible, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would have instructed them to contract mut‘ah marriage instead of fasting.
