حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : هَلَكَ أَبِي وَتَرَكَ سَبْعَ ، أَوْ تِسْعَ بَنَاتٍ ، فَتَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَزَوَّجْتَ يَا جَابِرُ " ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " بِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا " ، قُلْتُ : ثَيِّبًا ، قَالَ : " هَلَّا جَارِيَةً تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ ، أَوْ تُضَاحِكُهَا وَتُضَاحِكُكَ " ، قُلْتُ : هَلَكَ أَبِي ، فَتَرَكَ سَبْعَ أَوْ تِسْعَ بَنَاتٍ ، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَجِيئَهُنَّ بِمِثْلِهِنَّ ، فَتَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً تَقُومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ ، قَالَ : " فَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ " ، لَمْ يَقُلْ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو : بَارَكَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ .
Narrated Jabir: My father died and left behind seven or nine daughters, and I married a woman. The Prophet said, "Did you get married, O Jabir?" I replied, "Yes." He asked, "Is she a virgin or a matron?" I replied, "She is a matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a virgin girl so that you might play with her and she with you (or, you might make her laugh and she make you laugh)?" I said, "My father died, leaving seven or nine girls (orphans) and I did not like to bring a young girl like them, so I married a woman who can look after them." He said, "May Allah bestow His Blessing on you."
