Explanation of the Book of Marriage-07

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And from Rabi' ibn Subayr, from his father, who is Subayr ibn Ma'bad al-Juhani, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
I had permitted you to contract temporary marriage with women إني كنت أذنت لكم في الاستمتاع من النساء
Sahih Muslim 1406d
.
I had indeed given you permission إني كنت قد أذنت
Meaning: I granted you a dispensation. This does not indicate that the prohibition preceded it, because permission may be given by speech or by tacit approval. So his saying:
I had permitted you to contract temporary marriage with women, but Allah has forbidden it (now) until the Day of Resurrection كنت ذنت لكم في الاستمتاع من النساء وإن الله قد حرم الله إلى يوم القيامة
Sahih Muslim 1406d
And Allah has forbidden it, note that regarding the permission he said "I gave you permission," but he attributed the prohibition to Allah to increase its strength, acceptance, and submission. Even though what the Messenger ruled upon is the ruling of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), this is more emphatic, because the ruling belongs to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and the Messenger is the one who conveys it.
He said:
but Allah has forbidden it (now) until the Day of Resurrection وإن الله قد حرم ذلك إلى يوم القيامة
Sahih Muslim 1406d
Until the Day of Resurrection. What is the Day of Resurrection? The Day of Resurrection is the day on which people are resurrected. It is called the Day of Resurrection because people stand up in it from their graves to the Lord of the Worlds, and because the witnesses are established in it
Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand - إنا لننصر رسلنا والذين آمنوا في الحياة الدنيا ويوم يقوم الأشهاد
[Ghafir 40:51]
. And because justice is established in it
And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection ونضع الموازين القسط ليوم القيامة
[Al-Anbya 21:47]
.
however had any temporary wives, he should let them go فمن كان عنده منهن شيء فليخل سبيلها
Sunan Ibn Majah 1962Sahih (Darussalam)
The Messenger prohibited even the continuation of the person in it, even though they say that continuation is stronger than the beginning. But here, the continuation became subordinate to the beginning. He said:
however had any temporary wives, he should let them go, and do not take back anything that you had given to them. فمن كان عنده منهن شيئ فليخل سبيلها ولا تأخذوا مما آتيتموهن شيئاً
Sunan Ibn Majah 1962Sahih (Darussalam)
Yes, meaning that whoever has a woman with whom he contracted a temporary marriage, let him release her. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say, "Let him divorce her." He said:
Let him release her يخل سبيلها
Let him leave her.
Then he said:
and do not take back anything that you had given to them. ولا تأخذوا مما آتيتموهن شيئاً
Sunan Ibn Majah 1962Sahih (Darussalam)
You gave them. Did you give them or did you come to them?
The student: You gave them.

The Shaykh : With a long vowel?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : The difference: "Ata" with a long vowel means "gave," and "ata" without a long vowel means "came."
The command of Allah has come أتى أمر الله
The command of Allah came. Yes.
(169) And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision, (170) Rejoicing in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounty, and they receive good tidings about those [to be martyred] after them who have not yet joined them - that there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. ولا تحسبن الذين يبخلون بما آتاهم الله من فضله
[Ali 'Imran 3:169-170]
Meaning?
The student: He gave them.

The Shaykh : He gave them. Good. And the prohibition is against taking anything from them, because they became entitled to what was given to them by what was made lawful of their private parts.
"It was narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawud, al-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, Ahmad, and Ibn Hibban".
