Sahih Muslim Hadith 3420 – Mut’ah Marriage: It

English

[3420] 20 – ( … ) It was narrated from Ar-RabI' bin Sabrah that his father went out with the Messenger of Allah j& to conquer Makkah. He said: "We stayed there for fifteen – thirty between night and day – and the Messenger of Allah 0, gave us permission to engage in Mut'ah marriages with women. I went out with a man from among my people, and I had an advantage over him in terms of good looks, as he was almost ugly. Each of us had a Burd. But my Burd was worn out whereas the Burd of my cousin was quite new. When we reached the lower part of Makkah, or the upper part, we were met by a girl like a long- necked young camel. We said: 'Will you let one of us engage in Mut'ah with you?' She said: 'What will you give me?' Each of us spread out his Burd and she started looking at the two men, and my companion saw her turning away from him. He said: 'This man's cloak is worn out but my cloak is quite new.' She said: 'There is nothing wrong with his cloak,' (she said this) three times or two times. Then I engaged in Mut'ah with her, and I did not come out until the Messenger of Allah ç forbade it."
