ahadith from his books are sahih ) except that there was some negligence in him.[^7] Ghandar’s negligence, of course, did not affect his riwayat from Shu’bah, as al-Hafiẓ quotes: وقال ابن أبي حاتم سألت أبي عن غندر فقال كان صدوقا وكان مؤدبا وفي حديث شعبة ثقة Ibn Abi Hatim said: “I asked my father about Ghandar and he replied, ‘He was saduq (very truthful), and was a teacher and in the hadith of Shu’bah, he is thiqah (trustworthy) .’”[^8] So, apparently, this sanad is sahih too without any doubt.

Al-Ṭabari further records: حدثنا أبو كريب قال ، حدثنا يحيى بن عيسى قال ، حدثنا نصير بن أبي الأشعث قال ، حدثني ابن حبيب بن أبي ثابت ، عن أبيه قال : أعطاني ابن عباس مصحفًا فقال : هذا على قراءة أبيّ قال أبو كريب قال يحيى : فرأيت المصحف عند نصير، فيه : (فما استمتعتم به منهن إلى أجل مسمى) . Abu Kurayb – Yahya b. ‘Isa – Nasir b. Abi al-Ash’ath – Ibn Habib b. Abi Thabit – his father: Ibn ‘Abbas gave me a mushaf . He said, “This is upon the qiraat of Ubayy b. Ka’b”.

Abu Kurayb narrated that Yahya said: “ I saw the mushaf with Nusayr. In it was { Those of them with whom you contract mut’ah for a specified period }.[^9] Commenting upon this same chain with another narration, Prof. Ibn Yasin states: ورجاله ثقات إلا يحيى بن عيسى صدوق، وابن حبيب هو عبد الله، وسنده حسن. Its narrators are thiqah (trustworthy), except that Yahya b. ‘Isa is saduq (very truthful) as well as Ibn Habib – and he was ‘Abd Allah, and its chain is hasan .[^10] Imam ‘Abd al-Razzaq (d.

211 H) too reports: عبد الرزاق عن ابن جريج قال: أخبرني عطاء أنه سمع ابن عباس يراها الان حلالا، وأخبرني أنه كان يقرأ} فما استمتعتم] به [منهن إلى أجل فآتوهن أجورهن{ ‘Abd al-Razzaq – Ibn Jurayj – ‘Aṭa: I heard Ibn ‘Abbas while he saw it as halal , and he used to recite { Those of them with whom you contract mut’ah for a period, give them their prescribed dowries }.[^11] This sanad is sahih , as we have discussed in the Preface. Meanwhile, al-Hafiẓ Ibn Kathir (d.

The permanent marriage is never contracted “for a specified period”.
