Sunan an-Nasai 3368 (Book 26, Hadith 173) #17980
Permission of Mut'ah in Islam

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) giving permission for Mut'ah, a temporary marriage, and a man offering his Rida' (upper garment) to a woman from Bani 'Amir. The woman chose the man due to his youthfulness and he stayed with her for three days before the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that those who married temporarily should let them go.

It was narrated from Ar-Rabi' bin Sabrah Al-Juhani that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah 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 said: 'Whoever has any of these women whom he married temporarily should let them go'."
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ الْجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَذِنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِالْمُتْعَةِ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ فَعَرَضْنَا عَلَيْهَا أَنْفُسَنَا فَقَالَتْ مَا تُعْطِينِي فَقُلْتُ رِدَائِي ‏.‏ وَقَالَ صَاحِبِي رِدَائِي ‏.‏ وَكَانَ رِدَاءُ صَاحِبِي أَجْوَدَ مِنْ رِدَائِي وَكُنْتُ أَشَبَّ مِنْهُ فَإِذَا نَظَرَتْ إِلَى رِدَاءِ صَاحِبِي أَعْجَبَهَا وَإِذَا نَظَرَتْ إِلَىَّ أَعْجَبْتُهَا ثُمَّ قَالَتْ أَنْتَ وَرِدَاؤُكَ يَكْفِينِي ‏.‏ فَمَكَثْتُ مَعَهَا ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ هَذِهِ النِّسَاءِ اللاَّتِي يَتَمَتَّعُ فَلْيُخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا

This hadith speaks about the practice of Mut’ah, which is a type of temporary marriage in Islam. It was narrated by Ar-Rabi’ bin Sabrah Al-Juhani that his father said that the Messenger of Allah gave permission for this type of marriage. A man offered himself to a woman from Bani ‘Amir and offered her his Rida’ as payment. His companion also offered her his Rida’ but it was finer than his own so she chose him instead due to him being younger than his companion. He stayed with her for three days before the Prophet Muhammad said that those who married temporarily should let them go.
