Avoid this blind man for neither human nor unseen creatures...

Avoid this blind man for neither human nor unseen creatures (Jinn) can corner him." Sunni reference: Sharh Ibn Abi al-Hadid, v4, pp 489-490 Also, in this connection, al-Raghib al-Isbahani reported: Ibn Zubair denounced Ibn Abbas for his opinion on Mut'a.

Thus Ibn Abbas told him: "Go and ask your mother what she did with your father." When Ibn Zubair asked her, she said: "By God, I did not conceive you except through Mut'a." Sunni reference: al-Muhadhiraat, by al-Raghib al-Isbahani, v2, p96 It is also reported that: Yahya Ibn Aktham asked a Shaikh from Basra: "Why do you permit Mut'a?" He answered: "Due to Umar Ibn al-Khattab". Yahya asked: "How is that?

Umar was the most sever one against it?" He answered: "Yes, it is an authentic narration that Umar ascended the pulpit and said: 'Allah and His Prophet permitted you two Mut'a, but I forbid you on both and will punish those who commit it', so we accepted the witness of Umar (that Allah and His Prophet permitted it) but we did not accept his prohibition." Sunni reference: al-Muhadhiraat, by al-Raghib al-Isbahani, v2, p94 Malik Ibn Anas and al-Shafi'i (two of the four Sunni Imams) as well as many Sunni traditionist reported the following with authentic chain of narrators: Urwah Ibn Zubair narrated that Khulah Bint Hakim came to Umar Ibn al- Khattab and said: Rabi'ah Ibn Umayyah practiced Mut'a with a woman and the woman has become pregnant from him.

Umar became angry and said: "About this Mut'a, had I done (the ban) sooner than this, I would have stoned him." Sunni references: al-Muwatta', by Malik Ibn Anas, on the topic of Mut'a, v2, p30 Kitab al-Am, by al-Shafi'i, v7, p219 Sunan al-Kubra, by al-Bayhaqi, v7, p206 Moreover, it is reported that: Umm Abdillah, the daughter of Abu Khuthaimah said that a single (unmarried) man from Syria came to her and said: "I am under emotional pressure for remaining unmarried, thus find for me a woman so as to contract temporary marriage with her." Therefore She found a woman for him and he made Mut'a contract with her having some witnesses.

He remained with her till the marriage was over.
