[1/198] الكافي: علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن عمر بن أذينة، عن إسماعيل بن الفضل الهاشمي قال: سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن المتعة فقال: إلق عبد الملك بن جريح فسله عنها فإن عنده منها علما، فلقيته فأملى علي منها شيئا كثيرا في استحلالها … فأتيت بالكتاب أبا عبد الله عليه السلام فعرضت عليه فقال: صدق وأقر به

1. [1/198] al-Kafi: Ali b. Ibrahim from his father from Ibn Abi Umayr from Umar b. Udhayna from Ismail b. al-Fadhl al-Hashimi who said: I asked Aba Abdillah عليه السلام about Mut`a so he said: go and see Abd al-Malik b. Jurayj and ask him about it for he has some knowledge in it, so I met him and he (Ibn Jurayj) dictated a lot of material in regards its permissibility to me … then I came with the book to Aba Abdillah عليه السلام and presented its contents to him, so he said: he (Ibn Jurayj) is truthful, and he (al-Sadiq) affirmed it.
