Hadith 34931
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-
Zubayr that Khawla ibn Hakim came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said,
''Rabia ibn Umayya made a temporary marriage with a woman and she is
pregnant by him.'' Umar ibn al-Khattab went out in dismay dragging his
cloak, saying, "This temporary marriage, had I come across it, I would
have ordered stoning and done away with it! "
Muwatta Malik Book 28, Hadith 46

Hasan, the sons of Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib from their ather,
mayAllah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, forbade temporary marriage with women
and the flesh of domestic donkeys on the Day of Khaybar. Muwatta Malik Book 28, Hadith 45

Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard Rabia ibn Abd ar-
Rahman say that a slave could marry four women.
Malik said,
"This is the best of what I have heard about the matter."
Malik said, "The slave differs with the muhallil if the slave is given
permission by his master for his ex-wife. If his master does not give
him permission, he separates them. The muhallil is separated in any
case if he intends to make the woman halal by marriage."
Malik said, "When a slave is owned by his wife or a husband owns his
wife, the possession of each of them is rendered void without divorce.
If a man, for instance, is married to a slave-girl, and then he buys
her, he must divorce her as a matter of course. They can then re-
marry. If they re-marry afterwards, that separation was not divorce."
Malik said, "When a slave is freed by his wife who owns him
and she is in the idda-period from him, they can only return to each
other after she has made another marriage." Muwatta Malik Book 28, Hadith 47
