Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Amro Bin Usman, from Ibrahim Bin Al Fazl, from Aban Bin Taghlub, and Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ismail Bin Mihran and Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Ibrahim Bin Al Fazl, from Aban Bin Taghlub who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘How shall I say to her when I am alone with her?’ He^asws said: ‘You should be saying, ‘I hereby marry you by <span class="iTxt">Mut’a</span> upon the Book of Allah^azwj and a Sunnah of His^azwj Prophet^saww. You will neither inherit nor be inherited from, for such and such days, and if you so desire, such and such a Sunnah with such and such Dirhams’, and you should specify from the recompense what both of you are agreed upon, be it little or more. So when she says, ‘Yes’, if she is pleased, so she is your wife, and you are the closest of the people with her’. I said, ‘Supposing I am too embarrassed in mentioning the stipulation of the days?’ He^asws said: ‘It would be harmful upon you’. I said, ‘And how?’ He^asws said: ‘You, if you do not stipulate, your marriage would have been permanent, and the expenses would be necessitated upon you during the waiting period, and she would inherit, you would not be able upon divorcing her except by a divorce of the Sunnah’.
