[1] صحيح البخاري (7/ 12)

 أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: «إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ المُتْعَةِ، وَعَنْ لُحُومِ الحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ، زَمَنَ خَيْبَرَ»

 

بدائع الصنائع في ترتيب الشرائع (2/ 274)

وَالنِّكَاحُ الْمُؤَقَّتُ نِكَاحُ مُتْعَةٍ، وَالْمُتْعَةُ مَنْسُوخَةٌ وَصَارَ هَذَا كَالنِّكَاحِ الْمُضَافِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَصِحُّ

(ونكاح المتعة باطل) ش: ادعى غير واحد من العلماء الإجماع على تحريم المتعة،
