Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Shi'ite Encyclopedia (chapter 6) Temporary Marriage in Islam (part Iii) After an overview of the commentaries of Quran and the authentic collections of Traditions, let us, now, look at some other types of Sunni references in with regard to Mut'a. Evidences From the Sunni History/Fiqh/Misc.

Books The previously-mentioned tradition of Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS) given in Sunni commentary books of Quran (please see Part I), has also been reported in many other Sunni books with a simple variation in some, that is, using the word "Shafa" meaning "a few" instead of "Shaqi" meaning a playboy: "Ali (RA) said: The Mut'a is a mercy from Allah to his servants.

If it were not for Umar forbidding it, no one would commit (the sin of) fornication except a (Shaqi/Shafa)." Sunni references: Bidayat al-Mujtahid, by Ibn Rushd, v2, p58 al-Nihaya, by Ibn al-Athir, v2, p249 al-Faiq, by al-Zamakhshari, v1, p331 Lisan Al-Arab, Ibn Mandhoor, v19, p166 Taj al-Aroos, v10, p200 Fat'h al-Bari, v9, p141 Kanz al-Ummal, by al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, v8, p293 Al-Iqd Al-Fareed, v2, p139 Umadat al-Qari, by al-'Ayni, v8, p310, (reports Mut'a was Halaal at the time of the Prophet + Abu Bakr + some of the Umar's period.) Also al-Hafidh Jalaluddin al-Suyuti said about Umar: "He (Umar) is the first who made Mut'a forbidden (Haraam)." Sunni reference: Tarikh al-Khulafaa, by al-Hafidh Jalaluddin al-Suyuti, p136 Also al-Qastalani wrote: The phrase "But a man said with his opinion what he wished" (as was mentioned in the authentic Sunni books such as Sahih al-Bukhari), is Umar Ibn al-Khattab and not Uthman, because he was the first to forbid ^^^^^ Mut'a.

So the one came after him (i.e., Uthman) was only following him in that action." Sunni reference: al-Irshad, by al-Qastalani, v4, p169 As we mentioned, Ibn Abbas Supported Mut'a even after the battle of Camel (which happened when Imam Ali became the head of Islamic states), and years after he lost his eyes. Let me give you one interesting tradition reported by Ibn Abi al-Hadid.

The brief version of this tradition was mentioned in Sahih Muslim (which was presented in Part II), but here there are more details including the events related to the war between Aisha and Imam Ali (AS). Ibn Abbas (RA) was known for his smart answers in the debates. Here is the tradition: Ibn Zubair gave a speech over the pulpit in Mecca when Ibn Abbas was sitting under the pulpit beside other people.
