3370. It was narrated from Ar-Rabi' bin Sabrah Al-Juhanî that his father said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ gave permission for Mut'ah, so I and another man went to a woman from Bani 'Âmir and offered ourselves to her (for Mut'ah). She said: ‘What will you give me?’ I said: ‘My Ridâ’ (upper garment).’ My companion also said: ‘My Ridâ’.’ My companion’s Ridâ’ was finer than mine, but I was younger than him. When she looked at my companion’s Ridâ’ she liked it, but when she looked at me, she liked me. Then she said: ‘You and your Ridâ’ are sufficient for me.’ I stayed with her for three (days), then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘Whoever has any of these women whom he married temporarily should let them go.” (Sahīh)

3368 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ الْجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: أَذِنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمُتْعَةِ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ فَعَرَضْنَا عَلَيْهَا أَنْفُسَنَا، فَقَالَتْ: مَا تُعْطِينِي؟ فَقُلْتُ: رِدَائِي، وَقَالَ صَاحِبِي: رِدَائِي، وَكَانَ رِدَاءُ صَاحِبِي أَجْوَدَ مِنْ رِدَائِي، وَكُنْتُ أَشَبَّ مِنْهُ، فَإِذَا نَظَرَتْ إِلَى رِدَاءِ صَاحِبِي أَعْجَبَهَا، وَإِذَا نَظَرَتْ إِلَيَّ أَعْجَبْتُهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: أَنْتَ وَرِدَاؤُكَ يَكْفِينِي، فَمَكَثْتُ مَعَهَا ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي يَتَمَتَّعُ، فَلْيُخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا»

Commentary

In other words, it is the final command of the Prophet ﷺ to abandon temporary marriage. It is, therefore, forbidden.
