وحدثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، حدثنا أَبِي ، حدثنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَقِيتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فقَالَ : " يَا جَابِرُ ، تَزَوَّجْتَ " ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " بِكْرٌ أَمْ ثَيِّبٌ " ، قُلْتُ : ثَيِّبٌ ، قَالَ : " فَهَلَّا بِكْرًا تُلَاعِبُهَا " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ لِي أَخَوَاتٍ ، فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُنَّ ، قَالَ : " فَذَاكَ إِذَنْ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ تُنْكَحُ عَلَى : دِينِهَا ، وَمَالِهَا ، وَجَمَالِهَا ، فَعَلَيْكَ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ " .
Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA) reported: I married a woman during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . I met the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , whereupon he said: Jabir, have you married? I said: Yes. He said: A virgin or one previously marrried? I said: With due previously married, whereupon he said: Why did you not marry a virgin with whom you could sport? I said: Allah's Messenger, I have sisters; I was afraid that she might intervene between me and them, whereupon he said: Well and good, if it is so. A woman is married for four reasons, for her religion, her property, her status, her beauty, so you should choose one with religion. May your hands cleave to dust.
