[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ had given us permission to practice temporary marriage. So when we arrived in Mecca, my cousin and I, we approached a young girl. I had a cloak with me, and my cousin had a cloak. My cousin's cloak was better than mine, and I was younger than my cousin. She began looking at me and said, "A cloak like a cloak." So she chose me, and I gave her my cloak. Then I stayed with her for as long as Allah allowed. Afterwards, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found him standing between the door and Zamzam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, we had given you permission for this temporary marriage. So whoever has something to give to these women, let him give it. Verily, Allah has forbidden it until the Day of Resurrection. And do not take anything from what you have given them."  

الطبراني:٦٥١٩حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ ثنا سُفْيَانُ ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ رَخَّصَ لَنَا فِي نِكَاحِ الْمُتْعَةِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ أَنَا وَابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي فَأَتَيْنَا فَتَاةً شَابَّةً وَمَعِي بُرْدَةٌ وَمَعَ ابْنِ عَمِّي بُرْدَةٌ وَبُرْدَةُ ابْنِ عَمِّي خَيْرٌ مِنْ بُرْدَتِي وَأَنَا أَشَبُّ مِنِ ابْنِ عَمِّي فَجَعَلَتْ تَنْظُرُ فِيَّ قَالَتْ بُرْدَةٌ كَبُرْدَةٍ فَاخْتَارَتْنِي فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا بُرْدَتِي ثُمَّ مَكَثْتُ مَعَهَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَائِمًا بَيْنَ الْبَابِ وزَمْزَمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّا قَدْ كُنَّا أَذِنَّا لَكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الْمُتْعَةِ فَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسْوَانِ شَيْءٌ فَلْيُرْسِلْهُ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ حَرَّمَهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا تَأْخُذُوا مِمَّا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ شَيْئًا»

"We went out with the Messenger of Allah on the Farewell pilgrimage, and they said : 'O Messenger of Allah, ﷺ celibacy has become too difficult for us'. He said : 'Then make temporary marriages with these women'. So we went to them, but they insisted on setting a fixed time between us and them. They mentioned that to the Prophet and he said : 'Set a fixed time between you and them.' So I went out with a cousin of mine. He had a cloak and I had a cloak, but his cloak was finer than mine, and I was younger than him. We came to a women and she said: 'One cloak is like another.' So I married her and stayed with her that night. Then the next day I saw the Messenger of Allah standing between the Rukn (corner) and the door (of the Ka'bah), saying : 'O people, I had permitted temporary marriage for you, but Allah has forbidden it until the Day of Resurrection. however had any temporary wives, he should let them go, and do not take back anything that you had given to them.' "

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and when we completed our Umrah, he said to us, "Enjoy yourselves with these women." He said, "And enjoyment for us at that time is marriage." So we proposed to those women to set a fixed term between us and them. We mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Do it." So I went out, along with my cousin who had a cloak with him, and I had a cloak too, but his cloak was better than mine, and I was younger than him. Then we approached a woman and presented our proposal to her. She liked my youthfulness and she liked the cloak of my cousin, so she said, "A cloak like a cloak." I married her and the duration between me and her was for ten nights. I stayed with her that night and in the morning, I went to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ was standing between the pillar and the gate, delivering a sermon to the people, and he was saying, "O people, I have given permission to you to enjoy yourselves with these women. And behold, Allah has forbade that until the Day of Resurrection. So whoever has anything with them, he should remove his way, and do not take anything from what you have given to them."
