Hadith of Sabrah ibn Ma’bad (RA)

حديث سبرة بن معبد (1) رضي الله تعالى عنه

Hadith 37:15

Waki’ narrated to us, ‘Abd al-‘Aziz narrated to us, he said: Al-Rabi’ ibn Sabrah al-Juhani informed me, from his father, who said: We went out with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. When we had finished our ‘Umrah, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to us: "Seek enjoyment (istamti’u) from these women." He said: And "istamti’" (enjoyment) to us meant the day of marriage. He said: So we presented that to the women, but they refused unless we set a term between us and them. He said: So we mentioned that to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and he said: "Do so." He said: So I set out with a cousin of mine, and he had a cloak, and I had a cloak, and his cloak was better than my cloak, but I was younger than him. We came to a woman, and we presented that to her. My youth pleased her, and the cloak of my cousin pleased her. She said: "A cloak like a cloak." He said: So I married her, and the term between me and her was ten [days]. He said: So I spent that night with her, then I woke up in the morning heading to the mosque, and there was the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, between the door and the Hijr, addressing the people. He said: "O people, I had permitted you to seek enjoyment from these women. Behold, Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, has forbidden that until the Day of Resurrection. So whoever has anything of them, let him release her, and do not take anything of what you have given them."

حدثنا وكيع، حدثنا عبد العزيز، قال: أخبرني الربيع بن سبرة الجهني، عن أبيه، قال: خرجنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فلما قضينا عمرتنا، قال لنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " استمتعوا من هذه النساء " قال: والاستمتاع عندنا يوم التزويج، قال: فعرضنا ذلك على النساء فأبين إلا أن نضرب بيننا وبينهن أجلا، قال: فذكرنا ذلك للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: " افعلوا قال: " فانطلقت أنا وابن عم لي، ومعه بردة، ومعي بردة، وبردته أجود من بردتي، وأنا أشب منه فأتينا امرأة، فعرضنا ذلك عليها، فأعجبها شبابي، وأعجبها برد ابن عمي، فقالت: برد كبرد، قال: فتزوجتها، فكان الأجل بيني وبينها عشرا، قال: فبت عندها تلك الليلة، ثم أصبحت غاديا إلى المسجد، فإذا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بين الباب، والحجر يخطب الناس يقول: " ألا أيها الناس قد كنت أذنت لكم في الاستمتاع من هذه النساء، ألا وإن الله تبارك وتعالى قد حرم ذلك إلى يوم القيامة، فمن كان عنده منهن شيء، فليخل سبيلها، ولا تأخذوا مما آتيتموهن شيئا "
