حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْعُزْبَةَ قَدِ اشْتَدَّتْ عَلَيْنَا . قَالَ " فَاسْتَمْتِعُوا مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ " . فَأَتَيْنَاهُنَّ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَنَا إِلاَّ أَنْ نَجْعَلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُنَّ أَجَلاً فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ " اجْعَلُوا بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُنَّ أَجَلاً " . فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي مَعَهُ بُرْدٌ وَمَعِي بُرْدٌ وَبُرْدُهُ أَجْوَدُ مِنْ بُرْدِي وَأَنَا أَشَبُّ مِنْهُ فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ فَقَالَتْ بُرْدٌ كَبُرْدٍ . فَتَزَوَّجْتُهَا فَمَكَثْتُ عِنْدَهَا تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ ثُمَّ غَدَوْتُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَائِمٌ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْبَابِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَذِنْتُ لَكُمْ فِي الاِسْتِمْتَاعِ أَلاَ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ حَرَّمَهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْهُنَّ شَىْءٌ فَلْيُخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا وَلاَ تَأْخُذُوا مِمَّا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ شَيْئًا " .

Rabi‘ ibn Sabrah reported from his father: We went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the Farewell Pilgrimage. They said, ‘Messenger of Allah, being without wives has become difficult for us.’ He said, ‘Seek temporary enjoyment with these women.’ We approached them, but they refused to marry us unless we set a term between us and them. They mentioned this to the Prophet, and he said, ‘Set a term between yourselves and them.’ My cousin and I went out. He had a cloak and I had a cloak; his cloak was better than mine, but I was younger than he was. We met a woman, and she said, ‘A cloak in exchange for a cloak.’ I married her and stayed with her that night. The next morning I went out, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was standing between the Corner and the Door, saying, ‘People, I had permitted you to seek temporary enjoyment with women. But Allah has now forbidden it until the Day of Resurrection. Whoever has any of these women with him, let her go, and do not take back anything you gave them.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report gives a temporary term for the marriage and then states that the Prophet announced its prohibition until the Day of Resurrection.
