21. Marriage
٢١۔ كِتَابُ النِّكَاحِ
[Machine] We were practicing it, meaning the pleasure of women, during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , during the time of Abu Bakr, and at the beginning of Umar's caliphate, until Shu'bah disagreed with it and prohibited us from it.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ يَعْنِي النَّبِيلَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ «كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ بِهَا يَعْنِي مُتْعَةَ النِّسَاءِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِي زَمَانِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ حَتَّى نَهَانَا عَنْهَا خَالَفَهُ شُعْبَةُ»
There came to us the proclaimer of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ has granted you permission to benefit yourselves, i. e. to contract temporary marriage with women. (Using translation from Muslim 1405a)
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ قَالَا خَرَجَ مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ «اللهَ قَدْ أَذِنَ لَكُمْ فَاسْتَمْتِعُوا يَعْنِي مُتْعَةَ النِّسَاءِ »
[Machine] "We did it during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."
«فَعَلْنَاهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ»
