If there is what contradicts it from the routes of trusted narrators, it becomes obligatory to throw away his report .[^5] As our esteemed reader can clearly see, the report of al-Husayn b. ‘Alwan and ‘Amr b. Khalid above contradicts – not one or two, but – several sahih Shi’i ahadith that explicitly establish the unbroken legitimacy of mut’ah ! This makes it severely unreliable, ḍa’if jiddan .

Meanwhile, an additional argument against this hadith of al-Husayn and ‘Amr is that it further contradicts the Qur’an – specifically, the Verse of al-Mut’ah and several dual-purpose ayahs , which have declared the purity of temporary marriage till the Last Hour. This makes it mawḍu’ (a fabrication) without a doubt.

No wonder, after mentioning that the chain of the riwayah of Husayn and ‘Amr is either “ ḍa’if or muwaththaq ”, al-Majlisi immediately proceeds to proclaim: الأظهر أنه من مفتريات الزيدية، كما يظهر من أكثر أخبارهم The most apparent is that it is from the FABRICATIONS of the Zaydiyyah , as obvious from most of their reports.[^6] So, the hadith is mawḍu’ . Hadith Two Ahmad b. Muhammad b.

‘Isa al-Ash’ari is also said to have documented: قال محمد بن أبي عمير، عن عبد الله بن سنان، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن المتعة؟ فقال: لا تدنس نفسك بها Muhammad b. Abi ‘Umayr – ‘Abd Allah b. Sinan: I asked Abu ‘Abd Allah, peace be upon him, about mu’tah . So, he said, “ Do not desecrate yourself with it .”[^7] The first problem with this report is that it is from a ḍa’if book. While it is true that Ahmad b. Muhammad b.

‘Isa did write a Nawadir , it has not reached us through authentic means, and there is not enough evidence to establish that what we have today is a true copy of his original book.

Rather, ‘Allamah al-Muhsini declares about al-Nawadir as we have it in our hands: والحق عدم إعتبار أحاديثها المنقولة في البحار و الوسائل و المستدرك وما يوجد في النسخة المطبوعة منها The truth is the UNRELIABILITY of its ahadith which are quoted in al-Bihar , al-Wasail and al-Mustadrak , and whatever is found in the published manuscript from it.[^8] Whoever seeks the detailed arguments about the unreliability of the book’s transmission to al-Majlisi (d. 1111 H), al-Hurr al-‘Amili (d.

1104 H)and to us is strongly referred to the academic research of al-Muhsini on it[^9]. Mirza al-Nuri (d.
