Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1406l
This hadith about temporary marriage gives one of the clearest wordings in this set of reports. Sabra al-Juhanni narrates from his father that Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم prohibited temporary marriage and said it was forbidden from that very day until the Day of Resurrection. The narration also says that whoever had given something as dower should not take it back. The teaching is direct: the report combines the prohibition of Mut'a with a reminder about not reclaiming what had already been given. For someone searching for the Mut'a marriage hadith, this narration is central because it includes both the time phrase and the instruction about what had been paid.
