    (قلت: إسناده صحيح على شرط الشيخين؛ إلا الزيادة فهي على شرط. البخاري. وقد أخرجه بها بإسناد المصنف، وأخرجه مسلم دون ذكر الأخت، وكذا ابن الجارود؛ لكنه وصل الزيادة بالمتن المرفوع؛ وهو رواية لمسلم. وصحح الترمذي المرفوع منه)

English translation

2074. It was reported from Nāfi', from Ibn 'Umar, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade Shighār marriages. Musad-dad (one of the narrators) added in his narration: "So I said to Nāfi':[1] 'What is Shighār?' He said: 'A man marries his daughter and the gift (of dowry) is that he gets to marry the other man's daughter. Or he marries the sister of a man and marries him to his sister without a gift (of dowry).'" (Saḥīh)

Arabic text

2074 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، كِلَاهُمَا، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «نَهَى عَنِ الشِّغَارِ». زَادَ مُسَدَّد، فِي حَدِيثِهِ قُلْتُ لِنَافِعٍ: مَا الشِّغَارُ قَالَ: يَنْكِحُ ابْنَةَ الرَّجُلِ، وَيُنْكِحُهُ ابْنَتَهُ بِغَيْرِ صَدَاقٍ، وَيَنْكِحُ أُخْتَ الرَّجُلِ، وَيُنْكِحُهُ أُخْتَهُ بِغَيْرِ صَدَاقٍ

Commentary

Among the various modes of marriage prevalent in the pre-Islamic Age of Ignorance, one was Mut'ah, a temporary marriage contracted for a specified time period. Islam prohibited this type of temporary marriage.
