Someone came to Abdullah bin Umar and said to him, "Ibn Abbas is permitting temporary marriage."Ibn Umar exclaimed, "Glory be to Allah! I do not think Ibn Abbas would do such a thing."They said, "Yes, he is indeed permitting it."He replied, "Ibn Abbas was nothing but a young boy in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."Then Ibn Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade it to us, and we were not fornicators."
أتي عبد الله بن عمر فقيل له، إن ابن عباس يأمر بنكاح المتعة فقال ابن عمر: سبحان الله. ما أظن ابن عباس يفعل هذا. قالوا: بلى إنه يأمر به، فقال: وهل كان ابن عباس إلا غلاما صغيرا إذ كان رسول الله ﷺ. ثم قال ابن عمر: نهانا عنها رسول الله ﷺ وما كنا مسافحين.

Tabarani narrated it in al-Awsat (9291) from Hashim bin Marthad, who said, "Muafi bin Sulayman narrated to us, who said, Musa bin Ayun narrated to us, from Ishaq bin Rashid, from Zuhri, from Salim bin Abdullah," and he mentioned it. Its chain of transmission is hasan because of Muafi bin Sulayman, who is Jazari, for his hadith is hasan. Abu Zura was asked about him and spoke well of him, and in Taqrib he is described as "truthful." Haythami said in Majma (4/265), "Its narrators are the narrators of Sahih, except for Muafi bin Sulayman, and he is trustworthy."As for what is reported from Abdul-Rahman bin Nuaym, or Nuaym Aarraj, who said, "A man asked Ibn Umar about mutah - while I was with him - meaning the temporary marriage of women, and he said, 'By Allah, we were not, in the time of the Messenger of Allah , fornicators or promiscuous,'" this is daif. Imam Ahmad (5694) and Abu Yaala (5706) both narrated it through the hadith of Ubaydullah bin Iyad bin Laqeet, who said, "Iyad narrated to us, from Abdul-Rahman bin Nuaym, or Nuaym Aarraj" - Abu Walid, Ahmad's teacher, was uncertain which - "who said, 'A man asked...'" and he mentioned it. Abdul-Rahman bin Nuaym, also said to be Nuaym Azdi Aarraj, is among the narrators of Tajil (650), where it is said there is uncertainty regarding his identity. This was stated by Husayni.Also on this topic is what is reported from Abu Saeed Khudri, who said, "We used to practice temporary marriage in exchange for a garment in the time of the Messenger of Allah
." Imam Ahmad (11165) and Bazzar in Kashf Astar (1441) both narrated it through the hadith of Muhammad bin Jafar, who said, "Shuba narrated to us, from Zayd Abu Hawari, who said, 'I heard Abu Siddiq narrating from Abu Saeed Khudri,'" and he mentioned it. Bazzar said, "The permission for temporary marriage was only for a brief period, during which the Messenger of Allah
permitted it, then forbade it and prohibited it until the Day of Resurrection." Its chain of transmission is daif because of Zayd Abu Hawari, Ammi, Basri, whose father's name is said to be Murrah, and he is daif by the consensus of the scholars, except that Bazzar and Daraqutni thought well of him and both said he was acceptable.As for Haythami's statement in Majma (4/264), "Ahmad and Bazzar narrated it, and Ahmad's narrators are the narrators of Sahih," this gives the impression that Bazzar narrated it through a route different from Ahmad's. But the correct view is that they both narrated it through a single route. Moreover, this Zayd Ammi is not among the narrators of Sahih, rather only the compilers of the Sunan narrated from him.Also on this topic is what is reported from Abu Hurairah, who said, "We went out with the Messenger of Allah
on the expedition of Tabuk, and we camped at Thaniyat al-Wada. The Messenger of Allah
saw lamps, and saw women weeping. He said, 'What is this?' It was said, 'Women whom their husbands married temporarily, then separated from them.' The Messenger of Allah
said, 'Marriage, divorce, the waiting period, and inheritance have forbidden - or abolished - temporary marriage.'" Abu Yaala (6625), Ibn Hibban in his Sahih (4149), and Bayhaqi (7/207) all narrated it through various routes from Muammal bin Ismail, who said, "Ikrima bin Ammar narrated to us, who said, 'Saeed Maqburi informed me, from Abu Hurairah,'" and he mentioned it. In it is Muammal bin Ismail Basri, about whom there is disagreement. Ibn Main, Darimi, and Ibn Hibban considered him trustworthy, while Ibn Saad said, "Trustworthy but makes many mistakes," Daraqutni said, "Trustworthy but errs frequently," and Bukhari said, "His hadith is denounced." This particular report is one that no one else corroborated him in, and he is closer to daif when he narrates alone.Something similar has also been reported as a saying attributed only to Ibn Masud, and its chain of transmission includes Hajjaj bin Artah. Bayhaqi and others narrated it.
