Musnad of Jabir
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1974 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me: O Jabir
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : يَا جَابِرُ ، أَتَزَوَّجْتَ ؟ قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : بِكْرًا أَوْ ثَيِّبًا ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لَا ، بَلْ ثَيِّبًا ، قَالَ : فَهَلَّا جَارِيَةً تُلَاعِبُكَ وَتُلَاعِبُهَا ؟ قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّ أَبِي قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَتَرَكَ تِسْعَ بَنَاتٍ ، وَهُنَّ لِي تِسْعُ أَخَوَاتٍ ، فَلَمْ أُحِبَّ أَنْ أَجْمَعَ إِلَيْهِنَّ جَارِيَةً خَرْقَاءَ مِثْلَهُنَّ ، وَلَكِنِ امْرَأَةً تَمْشُطُهُنَّ وَتَقُومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ ، قَالَ : أَصَبْتَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me: "O Jabir, have you married?" I said: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "A virgin or a previously married woman?" I said: "No, rather a previously married woman." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not marry a young girl, so that you would play with her and she would play with you?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), my father (Sayyiduna Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred on the day of the Battle of Uhud and left nine daughters, who are my nine sisters. So I did not think it right to bring to them an inexperienced girl like them; rather, I thought it better to marry a woman who would comb their hair and look after them." At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You decided rightly."
