Sahih al-Bukhari 4913 (Book 67, Hadith 55)
agree (to marry temporarily), their marriage should last for three nights, and if they like to continue,
they can do so; and if they want to separate, they can do so.” I do not know whether that was only for
us or for all the people in general. Abu `Abdullah (Al-Bukhari) said: `Ali made it clear that the
Prophet said, “The Mut’a marriage has been cancelled (made unlawful).
“ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ وَامْرَأَةٍ تَوَافَقَا فَعِشْرَةُ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا ثَلاَثُ لَيَالٍ فَإِنْ أَحَبَّا أَنْ يَتَزَايَدَا أَوْ يَتَتَارَكَا تَتَارَكَا ”. فَمَا أَدْرِي أَشَىْءٌ كَانَ لَنَا خَاصَّةً أَمْ لِلنَّاسِ عَامَّةً. قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَبَيَّنَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ مَنْسُوخٌ.
