This hadith is included in Sahih Bukhari ^[1], accompanied by the hadith were Ali is reported to have said it was baned at the day of the battle of Khaybar.

Shi'a use it to stress that Muhammad actually is quoted ordering people to "do Mut'ah", arguing that this rends the argument of the practice being immoral incompatible with the view of Muhammad being a divine prophet. Also noteworthy, Muhammad Muhsin Khan in his The Translation of the Meanings Of Sahih Al-Bukhari choose to translate the quote to "You have been allowed to do the Mut'ah (marriage), so do it."^[2]

Views The quoted verse is verse 87 in chapter in Al-Ma'ida. This hadith confirms that both Shi'a and Sunni agree that Nikah Mut'ah was practiced in the beginning of Islam, considering that the Muhammad al-Bukhari choose to include it in his collection ^[3]. The Urdu translation of that was based on the compilation of four Sunni scholars translated the order of Muhammad as "Go and find a woman that agrees and marry her for a few days."^[4]. This tradition has also been recorded on the authority of Ibn Abbas in Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal ^[5].
