Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ حِينَ قَدِمَ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُعْتَمِرًا فَجِئْنَاهُ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ فَسَأَلَهُ الْقَوْمُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرُوا لَهُ الْمُتْعَةَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ اسْتَمْتَعْنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ فِي آخِرِ خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ.

'Abd al-Razzaq informed us, Ibn Jurayj informed us, he said: 'Ata' said: When Jabir ibn 'Abdullah arrived performing 'Umra, we went to him at his lodging, and the people asked him about various matters. Then they mentioned to him temporary marriage (mut'a), and he said, "Yes, we practiced mut'a during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and Abu Bakr, and 'Umar, until it was near the end of 'Umar's caliphate, may Allah be pleased with him."
