Lu'lu' wal-Marjan

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a military expedition (Tabuk). When we were returning, I was trying to urge my slow camel to move faster. Suddenly, a rider approached me from behind. I turned and saw that it was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said, "Why are you hurrying?" I replied, "I have recently gotten married." He asked, "Did you marry a virgin or a widow?" I replied, "A widow." Upon this, he said, "Why did you not marry a virgin, so that you could play with her and she could play with you?" Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: Then, when we reached (Medina), we wanted to enter the city, but he said, "Wait until night falls, then enter, so that your wives whose hair is disheveled may comb and braid their hair, and those whose husbands were absent may shave their pubic hair." And in this hadith, it is also mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Al-Kayyis, al-Kayyis," meaning, "O Jabir, when you go home, be wise (Imam Bukhari, may Allah have mercy on him, said that the meaning of 'wise' here is to desire to have children)."
