حدثنا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ، حدثنا أَبِي ، حدثنا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ مُحَارِبٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً ، فقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هَلْ تَزَوَّجْتَ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " أَبِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا " ، قُلْتُ : ثَيِّبًا ، قَالَ : " فَأَيْنَ أَنْتَ مِنَ الْعَذَارَى وَلِعَابِهَا ؟ " ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، فقَالَ : قَدْ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ جَابِرٍ ، وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ : فَهَلَّا جَارِيَةً تُلَاعِبُهَا ، وَتُلَاعِبُكَ .
Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA) reported: I married a woman, whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me: Have you married? I said: Yes. He said: Is it a virgin or a previously married one (widow or divorced)? I said: With a previously married one, whereupon he said: Where had you been (away) from the amusements of virgins? Shu'bah said: I made a mention of it to 'Amr bin Dinar and he said: I too heard from Jabir making mention of that (that Allah's Apostle) (ﷺ) said: Why didn't you marry a girl, so that you might sport with her and she might sport with you?
