and they were wearing sheer garments. Aisha said, “If you are indeed believers, such attire is not the attire of believing women.”) p. 139; p. 161 of the twelfth edition.

I have not found its chain of transmission. Saīd ibn Mansūr and Ibn Mardawayh related from Aisha that a woman entered upon her wearing a thin head covering through which her forehead could be seen. Aisha took it and tore it, then said, “Do you not know what Allah revealed in Sūrat al-Nūr?” She then called for a head covering for her and covered her with it. This was cited in al-Durr al-Manthūr (5/42).

1/225 — (It is related from Ibn Abbās [that] a man asked him about temporary marriage, and he granted him a dispensation. A client of his said to him, “That was only in dire circumstances, when women were few—or something to that effect, was it not?” Ibn Abbās replied, “Yes.” Al-Bukhārī.) p. 158; p. 184 of the twelfth edition.

Authentic. Al-Bukhārī (9/140, Fath), al-Tahāwī in Sharh al-Maānī (2/15), and al-Bayhaqī (7/204, 205) recorded it through Shuba, from Abū Jamra, who said: “I heard Ibn Abbās being asked about temporary marriage, and he granted a dispensation…” The wording is al-Bukhārī’s. The wording of the other two is:

“Abū Jamra said: I asked Ibn Abbās about temporary marriage. A client of his then said, ‘That was only during military campaigns, when women were few.’ Ibn Abbās replied, ‘You have spoken the truth.’”

In Sahīh Muslim (4/134) and al-Bayhaqī (7/205), Ibn Abī Amra al-Ansārī is reported to have said to Ibn Abbās—who had issued a ruling permitting temporary marriage—“Hold on! It was a concession at the beginning of Islam for anyone compelled by necessity, just as with carrion, blood, and pork. Then Allah established the religion in its definitive form and prohibited it.”
