It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: In the blessed era of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and during the times of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), we used to contract temporary marriage (mut‘ah) with women. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) later forbade us from it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that when he learned, through Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), that he permitted Mut'ah, he said to him: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade Mut'ah and the meat of domestic donkeys on the day of Khaybar.

It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Naeem A'araji, he says: A man asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about the marriage of Mut'ah. He became angry and said: By Allah! In the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we were neither adulterers nor wicked.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah Juhani, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: We went out with the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on the day of the conquest of Makkah. We stayed there for fifteen days. The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, permitted us to contract temporary marriage (Nikah Mut'ah). My cousin and I went to the lower or upper area of Makkah, where we met a young girl from Banu Amir bin Sa'sa'ah, as if she were a young she-camel with a long neck. I was not handsome, but my sheet was completely new, while my cousin's sheet was old and worn out. We said to her: Do you intend to contract temporary marriage with one of us? She said: Is this permissible? We said: Yes. Then she began to look. When she looked towards my cousin, I would try to attract her attention to myself by saying: My sheet is completely new, and his sheet is old and worn out. She said: There is no harm in your cousin's sheet either. So she contracted temporary marriage with my cousin. Later, we had not yet left Makkah when the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, declared temporary marriage forbidden.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah, he says: We set out with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage. When we were at Usfan, the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Umrah has entered into Hajj.’ Suraqah bin Malik or Malik bin Suraqah said: O Messenger of Allah! Teach us in the same way as a people who have been born today are taught. The question is: Is this ‘Umrah for this year only or forever?’ He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: No, rather it is forever and ever. When we reached Makkah, we performed Tawaf of the House of Allah and Sa’i between Safa and Marwah. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, permitted us to contract temporary marriage (mut’ah) with women. We returned to you and said: O Messenger of Allah! The women have refused, but they are willing to accept for a fixed period. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do so. I went out, and a companion was with me. One sheet was over me, and one sheet was over him. We went to a woman and presented ourselves to her. When she looked at my companion’s sheet, she found it better than mine, and when she looked at me, she found me younger than him. Eventually, she said: A sheet is just a sheet, but a man cannot be replaced. So she chose me, and I married her for ten days in exchange for the sheet. I had only spent one night with her when, in the morning, I went to the mosque and found the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on the pulpit delivering a sermon, saying: Whoever among you has married a woman for a fixed period, let him give her the agreed upon compensation, do not take back what you have given, and separate from her. Allah Almighty has made this mut’ah marriage forbidden for you until the Day of Resurrection.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, prohibited Nikah Mut'ah on the day of the conquest of Makkah.

Imam Zuhri says: We mentioned Mut'ah in the presence of Umar bin Abdul Aziz. Rabi' bin Sabrah said: I heard my father say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) declared the marriage of Mut'ah unlawful on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted permission for Mut’ah in the year of Awtas.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed both the one who performs Halalah and the one for whom it is performed.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed these individuals: the one who gives usury, the one who takes usury, its two witnesses, the one who performs halalah, and the one for whom halalah is performed.
