Hadith of Umar's speech of forbidding Mut'ah

Hadith of Umar's speech of forbidding Mut'ah is a report of Umar ibn al-Khattab abolishing Mut'ah. He is accused of publicly confessing to challenging the Prophet by saying: "I forbid you mutah which the Prophet allowed!" [1][2][3] Following is the source often quoted to support the event of Umar forbidding it despite allowed by the Prophet:

He did it during the third year of his reign, 15 ah (637 CE), 6 year after the revelation of verse 4:24, in the Hadith of Umar's speech of forbidding Mut'ah, but since he, according to them, had no authority to do so, Umar's prohibition seems to have been temporary and applicable to one place, hence must be ignored.[4][5]

Following companions and narrators of hadith have transmitted hadiths regarding the legality of Nikah Mut'ah and opposed Umar's ruling:[6]
