Urwa bin Zabair reported that Abdullah bin Zubair (RA) stood up (and delivered an address) in Makkah saying: Allah has made blind the hearts of some people as He has deprived them of eyesight that they give religious verdict in favour of temporary marriage, while he was alluding to a person (Ibn Abbas). Ibn Abbas (RA) called him and said: You are an uncouth person, devoid of sense. By my life, Muta was practised during the lifetime of the leader of the pious (he meant Allahs Messenger, ﷺ , and Ibn Zubair said to him: just do it yourselves, and by Allah, if you do that I will stone you with your stones. Ibn Shihab said Khalid bin Muhajir bin Saifullah informed me: While I was sitting in the company of a person, a person came to him and he asked for a religious verdict about Muta and he permitted him to do it. Ibn Abu Amrah al-Ansari (RA) said to him: Be gentle. It was permitted in the early days of Islam, (for one) who was driven to it under the stress of necessity just as (the eating of) carrion and the blood and flesh of swine and then Allah intensified (the commands of) His religion and prohibited it (altogether). Ibn Shihab reported: Rabi bin Sabra told me that his father (Sabra) said: I contracted temporary marriage with a woman of Banu Amir for two cloaks during the lifetime of Allahs Messenger ﷺ ; then he forbade us to do Muta. Ibn Shihab said: I heard Rabi bin Sabra narrating it to Umar bin Abdul Aziz and I was sitting there.
