Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ابْنَىْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِمَا، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا، بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلاً، لاَ يَرَى بِالْمُتْعَةِ بَأْسًا فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ تَائِهٌ إِنَّهُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْهَا وَعَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ ‏.‏

Translation

Amr ibn Ali reported to us; he said: Yahya narrated to us, from Ubayd Allah ibn Umar, who said: al-Zuhri narrated to me, from al-Hasan and Abd Allah, the two sons of Muhammad, from their father: Ali heard that a man saw no harm in temporary marriage. He said, ‘You are astray. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prohibited it, as well as the meat of domestic donkeys, on the day of Khaybar.’

Translation notes
  • The report identifies the disputed practice as mut'ah (temporary marriage) and places the prohibition, along with domestic donkey meat, on the day of Khaybar.
