Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 16941 — Those who permitted marrying women

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were present at the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah with Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him). In those days we had no access to marrying Muslim women, so we married Jewish and Christian women. Later, some divorced them and some kept them.
