It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a boy reaches the age of seven, he should be instructed to pray, and when he reaches the age of ten, he should be beaten for not praying.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any one of you begins to pray, he should set up a sutrah in front of him, even if it is only an arrow.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade us from praying in camel enclosures and permitted us to pray among sheep flocks, and he prohibited temporary marriage (mut'ah) with women.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In prayer, a person’s sutrah can also be an arrow, so when any of you prays, let him take an arrow as his sutrah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade us from praying in camel enclosures and permitted us to pray among sheep flocks, and he prohibited temporary marriage (mut'ah) with women.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) declared Mut'ah to be unlawful.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah that we set out from Madinah Munawwarah with the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage. When we reached the place of Ghassan, the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: ‘Umrah has entered into Hajj.’ Upon this, Sayyiduna Suraqah bin Malik submitted: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Teach us as you would teach those who have just been born today. Is this ruling for this ‘Umrah of ours only, or is it forever?’ The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: ‘No, rather this ruling is forever.’

Then, when we reached Makkah Mukarramah, we performed Tawaf of the House of Allah and Sa’i between Safa and Marwah. Then the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) permitted us to go to our women. We returned to the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Women are not pleased except at a fixed time and in no other way.’ The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: ‘Do as you wish.’

So, my companion and I set out. I had a sheet and he had a sheet. 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 my companion. Eventually, she said: ‘The sheet will be exchanged for a sheet,’ and with that, she chose me. I married her for ten days in exchange for my sheet. I spent the night with her, and when morning came, I set out for the mosque. When I arrived, I heard the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) delivering a sermon, saying: ‘Whoever among you has married a woman for a fixed period, let him give her what he agreed upon, and do not take back anything you have given her, and separate from her, for Allah has now made this act forbidden for you until the Day of Resurrection.’

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah that we set out from Madinah Munawwarah with the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah. We stayed there for fifteen days. Then the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) permitted us to benefit from women. So, my cousin and I went out and reached a woman who belonged to Banu Bakr and she was very young. When she looked at my cousin’s cloak, it seemed older than mine, and when she looked at me, she found me younger than my companion, and I also had a new cloak. We said to her,“Can one of us benefit from you?”She said,“Is it permissible?”We said,“Yes.”She began to look at my cousin, so I told her that my cloak was new and fine, while his cloak was old and dirty. She said,“There is no harm in that.”So my cousin benefited from her. We had not yet left Makkah Mukarramah when the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) made it forbidden.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted us to benefit from women, so I and one of my companions went out and presented ourselves to a woman. After three days, we met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was intensely declaring its prohibition and strictly forbidding it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade us from praying in camel enclosures and permitted us to pray among sheep flocks, and he prohibited temporary marriage (mut'ah) with women.
