Musnad Ahmad 432 (Book 4, Hadith 30) #34104
Disagreement on Mutah During Hajj

SUMMARY: Uthman and Ali had a disagreement about the practice of Mutah during Hajj, with Uthman forbidding it and Ali encouraging it. They both agreed that they had practiced Mutah during the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), but Uthman said that was because they were in a state of fear then.

It was narrated that Qatadah said'.Abdullah bin Shaqeeq said: 'Uthman used to forbid mut’ah (of Hajj, ie, tamattu') and 'Ali used to enjoin it'.Uthman said something to 'Ali, then 'Ali said: You know that we did tamattu' with the Messenger of Allah . He said: Yes, but we were in a state of fear then.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَقِيقٍ كَانَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَنْهَى عَنْ الْمُتْعَةِ وَعَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَأْمُرُ بِهَا فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لِعَلِيٍّ قَوْلًا ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا قَدْ تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَجَلْ وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا خَائِفِينَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the disagreement between two companions of Prophet Muhammad PBUH, Uthman and Ali, regarding the practice of Mutah during Hajj. Mutah is a type of temporary marriage which was allowed by Prophet Muhammad PBUH at one point in time but later forbidden by him. In this particular instance, Uthman forbade it while Ali encouraged it. They both agreed that they had practiced this form of marriage with Prophet Muhammad PBUH before but Uthman argued that was because they were in a state of fear then. This hadith teaches us to respect different opinions even if we disagree with them as long as those opinions are within Islamic boundaries and to always remember our past experiences when making decisions for our present or future lives.
