Musnad Abi Ya'la 1850 — he said: We set out on a military expedition
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَيَّارٌ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا فِي غَزَاةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : فَلَمَّا قَفَلْنَا تَعَجَّلْتُ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ لِي قَطُوفٍ ، قَالَ : فَلَحِقَنِي رَاكِبٌ مِنْ خَلْفِي فَنَخَسَ بَعِيرِي بِعَنَزَةٍ كَانَتْ مَعَهُ ، فَسَارَ بَعِيرِي كَأَجْوَدِ مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ ، فَالْتَفَتُّ ، فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَقَالَ : مَا يُعْجِلُكَ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : إِنِّي حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِعُرْسٍ ، قَالَ : بِكْرًا تَزَوَّجْتَ أَمْ ثَيِّبًا ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : ثَيِّبًا ، قَالَ : فَهَلَّا جَارِيَةً تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوا ، قَالَ : أَمْهِلُوا حَتَّى نَدْخُلَ لَيْلًا عِشَاءً ، كَيْ تَمْتَشِطَ الشَّعِثَةُ ، وَتَسْتَحِدَّ الْمُغِيبَةُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "We set out on a military expedition with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When we set off on the return journey, I tried to hurry on a slow-paced camel of mine. Meanwhile a rider caught up with me from behind and prodded my camel with a short spear he had with him, after which my camel went so fast that you would hardly have seen any camel go so well. I turned around, and it was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'What has made you hurry?' I said: 'I have only recently been married.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'Did you marry a virgin or a previously married woman?' I said: 'Rather, a previously married woman.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Why did you not marry a young girl, so that you could play with her and she could play with you?' The narrator says: Then when the Companions arrived back, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Wait, until we enter at night, that is, at the time of Isha, so that the woman with dishevelled hair may comb and tidy her hair, and the woman whose husband was absent may (clean herself and) prepare herself.'"
