أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ الْجُهَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَذِنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمُتْعَةِ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ إِلَی امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ فَعَرَضْنَا عَلَيْهَا أَنْفُسَنَا فَقَالَتْ مَا تُعْطِينِي فَقُلْتُ رِدَائِي وَقَالَ صَاحِبِي رِدَائِي وَکَانَ رِدَائُ صَاحِبِي أَجْوَدَ مِنْ رِدَائِي وَکُنْتُ أَشَبَّ مِنْهُ فَإِذَا نَظَرَتْ إِلَی رِدَائِ صَاحِبِي أَعْجَبَهَا وَإِذَا نَظَرَتْ إِلَيَّ أَعْجَبْتُهَا ثُمَّ قَالَتْ أَنْتَ وَرِدَاؤُکَ يَکْفِينِي فَمَکَثْتُ مَعَهَا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ کَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَائِ اللَّاتِي يَتَمَتَّعُ فَلْيُخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3376
It was narrated from Ar Rabi’ bin Sabrah Al-Juhani that his father said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم gave permission for Mut’ah, so I and another man went to a woman from Bani ‘Amir and offered ourselves to her (for Mut’ah). She said: ‘What will you give me?’ I said: ‘My Rida’ (upper garment).’ My companion also said: ‘My Rida’.’ My companion’s Rida’ was finer than mine, but I was younger than him. When she looked at my companion’s Rida’ she liked it, but when she looked at me, she liked me. Then she said: ‘You and your Rida’ are sufficient for me.’ I stayed with her for three (days), then the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Whoever has any of these women whom he married temporarily should let them go.” (Sahih)
