1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ فَقَالَ وَمَا أَنْتَ وَذَاكَ فَقَدْ أَغْنَاكَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَعْلَمَهَا فَقَالَ هِيَ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَقُلْتُ نَزِيدُهَا وَتَزْدَادُ فَقَالَ وَهَلْ يَطِيبُهُ إِلا ذَاكَ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Ali ibn Yaqtin who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan, Musa عليه السلام, about al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage). He (the Imam) said, ‘What do you have to do with it when Allah has made you free of need for it?’ I then said, ‘I only wanted to know about it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is in the book of Ali عليه السلام .’ I then asked, ‘Can we extend and they women extend (the time)?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘What else makes him happy?”’
