أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: «إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ المُتْعَةِ، وَعَنْ لُحُومِ الحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ، زَمَنَ خَيْبَرَ»

وَالنِّكَاحُ الْمُؤَقَّتُ نِكَاحُ مُتْعَةٍ، وَالْمُتْعَةُ مَنْسُوخَةٌ وَصَارَ هَذَا كَالنِّكَاحِ الْمُضَافِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَصِحُّ
