[Machine] "Abbas, who was busy, said to him, 'Stay with your parents.' So the man started saying, 'I have vowed to kill myself.' Ibn Abbas said to him, 'What should I do with you? Go and kill yourself.' When Ibn Abbas and the man's parents finished, he said, 'Bring the man to me.' So they went and found him kneeling, ready to kill himself. They brought him to Ibn Abbas, who said, 'Woe to you! You intended to commit three forbidden acts: to enter a forbidden land, to sever the ties of kinship (by killing yourself, as the self is closer to a person than any other relative), and to shed forbidden blood. Do you find it acceptable to have a hundred camels?' He said, 'Yes.' Ibn Abbas said, 'Go, and every year slaughter one-third of those camels, so that the meat does not spoil.' This is the wording of the hadith of Abu Mu'awiyah, and the narration of Ibn Numayr conveys its meaning. Additionally, Kuraib stated that he witnessed this for two years, but he does not know what he did in the third year. This narration is reported by Sufyan al-Thawri from al-A'mash, and he added that al-A'mash heard from Ibn Abbas that if someone were to act upon him in a similar situation, he would command him to slaughter one goat.' May Allah have mercy on the sheikh. There is disagreement among the scholars regarding this matter, as well as regarding someone who vows to kill his son. This indicates that he said it for argumentation and consideration, not because he believed it to be the correct course of action. Allah knows best."

Allah has made blind the hearts of some people as He has deprived them of eyesight that they give religious verdict in favour of temporary marriage, while he was alluding to a person (Ibn 'Abbas). Ibn Abbas called him and said: You are an uncouth person, devoid of sense. By my life, Mut'a was practised during the lifetime of the leader of the pious (he meant Messenger of Allah, may peace be upon him), and Ibn Zubair said to him: just do it yourselves, and by Allah, if you do that I will stone you with your stones. Ibn Shihab said. Khalid b. Muhajir b. Saifullah informed me: While I was sitting in the company of a person, a person came to him and he asked for a religious verdict about Mut'a and he permitted him to do it. Ibn Abu 'Amrah al-Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Be gentle. It was permitted in- the early days of Islam, (for one) who was driven to it under the stress of necessity just as (the eating of) carrion and the blood and flesh of swine and then Allah intensified (the commands of) His religion and prohibited it (altogether). Ibn Shihab reported: Rabi' b. Sabra told me that his father (Sabra) said: I contracted temporary marriage with a woman of Banu 'Amir for two cloaks during the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; then he forbade us to do Mut'a. Ibn Shihab said: I heard Rabi' b. Sabra narrating it to Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz and I was sitting there. (Using translation from Muslim 1406k)
