Hadith 6856
اُردوEn
وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَالِثٍ بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ قَالَ لَكُمْ أَنْمَاطٌ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَأَنَّى قَالَ خِفْ أَمَا سَتَكُونُ لَكُمْ أَنْمَاطٌ فَأَنَا الْيَوْمَ أَقُولُ لِامْرَأَتِي نَحِّي عَنِّي أَنْمَاطَكِ فَتَقُولُ نَعَمْ أَلَمْ يَقُلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ لَكُمْ أَنْمَاطٌ فَأَتْرُكُهَا
. (Third chain of narration) There is a similar narration, except that in it: The Noble Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Do you have bed sheets? I replied: O Messenger of Allah! Where would we get bed sheets from? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Right now you are poor and have little wealth, but beware! Soon there will be sheets. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Today, when I tell my wife to move her sheets away from me, she says: Did the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not say that soon you will have bed sheets? So how can I leave them?
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam encouraged marrying a virgin woman, but when Sayyiduna Jabir radi Allahu anhu clarified the wisdom behind marrying a widow, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam appreciated his action.
