English Translation

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): We used to contract mut'a (with women for several days) in exchange for a handful of dates and flour during the era of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), until 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) forbade it in the case of 'Amr bin Hurayth.
