حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَسَنِ، ابْنَىْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِمَا، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ مُتْعَةِ النِّسَاءِ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ وَعَنْ أَكْلِ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الإِنْسِيَّةِ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1407a
This narration from 'Ali b. Abi Talib reports two prohibitions from the Day of Khaibar. It says Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم prohibited temporary marriage with women and the eating of the flesh of domestic asses. The hadith is brief, but its wording is clear. It connects the temporary marriage ruling with a specific event and also mentions a food-related prohibition in the same report. The explanation should not mix this wording with the Day of Victory reports, because this narration names Khaibar. For readers searching for the Khaibar temporary marriage hadith, the key point is that 'Ali reports the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم forbade Mut'a marriage and domestic donkey meat on that day.
