Hadith 6855

(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَلْ نَكَحْتَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَبِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا قَالَ قُلْتُ ثَيِّبًا قَالَ فَهَلَّا بِكْرًا تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُتِلَ أَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَتَرَكَ سَبْعَ بَنَاتٍ وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَجْمَعَ إِلَيْهِنَّ خَرْقَاءَ مِثْلَهُنَّ وَلَكِنِ امْرَأَةً تَمْشُطُهُنَّ وَتُقِيمُ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَالَ أَصَبْتَ
(Second chain) Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Have you gotten married? I said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Was she a virgin or a widow? I said: She was a widow. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not marry a virgin, so that she would play with you and you would play with her? I submitted: O Messenger of Allah! My father was martyred on the day of Uhud and left behind seven daughters among the survivors, so I did not like to add another inexperienced one like them. I chose a woman who would comb their hair and look after them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have done the right thing.
