عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا جَابِرُ أَلَكَ امْرَأَةٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَثَيِّبًا نَكَحْتَ أَمْ بِكْرًا قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ تَزَوَّجْتُهَا وَهِيَ ثَيِّبٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي فَهَلَّا تَزَوَّجْتَهَا جُوَيْرِيَةً قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ قُتِلَ أَبِي مَعَكَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَتَرَكَ جَوَارِيَ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَضُمَّ إِلَيْهِنَّ جَارِيَةً كَإِحْدَاهُنَّ فَتَزَوَّجْتُ ثَيِّبًا تَقْصَعُ قَمْلَةَ إِحْدَاهُنَّ وَتَخِيطُ دِرْعَ إِحْدَاهُنَّ إِذَا تَخَرَّقَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِنَّكَ نِعْمَ مَا رَأَيْتَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: O Jabir! Do you have a wife? I replied: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Was she previously married or a virgin? I said: When I married her, she was previously married. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not marry a virgin girl? I said: My father was martyred with you in such-and-such battle and left behind daughters, and I did not like to bring a young girl like them among them; rather, I married this woman so that she could comb the hair of my sisters, and if their shirt was torn, she could sew it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have made a very good decision.
