Muta isn't Sunnah it's just permissible , the prophet didn't practice it or any Imam .
The Prophet (SAWAS) did practice it, and it isn't just permissible in our hadeeth it is said it is
MustaHab (recommended) to do it, rather it is
makrooh (disliked) not to do
at least one mut`a in your life.
Here is a
SaHeeH hadeeth that says mut`a is
mustaHab. This is a great chain by the way.
Taken from Al-Mufeed's
Risaalah Al-Mut`ah
عن أبي القاسم جعفر بن محمد بن قولويه عن أبيه عن سعد بن عبد الله عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى عن ابن أبي عمير عن هشام بن سالم عن أبي عبد الله ع قال يستحب للرجل أن يتزوج المتعة و ما أحب للرجل منكم أن يخرج من الدنيا حتى يتزوج المتعة و لو مرة
Abee `Abd Allaah

said: "It is
mustahab for the man that he marries (in) mut`a. And I do not love that a man from you leave the world until he marries (in) mut`a, even if it is once.

And Here is the
SaHeeH hadeeth where it is said that the Prophet (SAWAS) practiced mut`a and it is makrooh not to do it once in your life:
وَ رَوَى بَكْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَأَكْرَهُ لِلرَّجُلِ الْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ قَدْ بَقِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ خَلَّةٌ مِنْ خِلَالِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَمْ يَقْضِهَا
And it is narrated from Bakr bin Muhammad from Abee `Abd Allaah (عليه السلام) said, I asked him about mut`a. And he (عليه السلام) said: “Verily, it is makrooh for a Muslim man that he leaves from this world and there remains upon him a habit from the habits of the Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), which he has not fulfilled.”
