Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 7325

عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " يَا جَابِرُ تَزَوَّجْتَ ؟ " قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ . قَالَ : " أَبِكْرًا أَوْ ثَيِّبًا ؟ " قَالَ : قُلْتُ : ثَيِّبًا . قَالَ : " أَلَا بِكْرًا تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ ؟ " . قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كُنْ لِي أَخَوَاتٌ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُنَّ . قَالَ : " إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ تُنْكَحُ لِدِينِهَا وَمَالِهَا وَجِمَالِهَا ، فَعَلَيْكَ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ " .
قُلْتُ : هُوَ فِي الصَّحِيحِ خَلَا مِنْ قَوْلِهِ : " تُنْكَحُ الْمَرْأَةُ لِثَلَاثٍ . " . إِلَى آخِرِهِ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I married a woman. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Jabir! Have you married?" I said: "Yes!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "A virgin or a previously married woman?" I said: "A previously married woman." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why not a virgin, so that you could play with her and she could play with you?" Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have sisters, and I fear that she might come between me and my sisters." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A woman is married for her religion, or her wealth, or her beauty; so you must choose the religious one, may your hands be covered in dust!" (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
This narration is mentioned in the "Sahih", but without these words: "A woman is married for three things" to the end; the words from there to the end are not in it.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
