1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ لا تَكُونُ مُتْعَةٌ إِلا بِأَمْرَيْنِ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى وَأَجْرٍ مُسَمًّى.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Salih from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘Al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage) cannot take place without two issues: they are the duration of time and the amount of mahr (dower).”’
