اُردوEn
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو ، سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هَلْ نَكَحْتَ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " أَبِكْرًا ، أَمْ ثَيِّبًا ؟ " قُلْتُ : ثَيِّبًا ، قَالَ : " فَهَلَّا بِكْرًا تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ ! " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قُتِلَ أَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، وَتَرَكَ تِسعَ بَنَاتٍ ، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَجْمَعَ إِلَيْهِنَّ خَرْقَاءَ مِثْلَهُنَّ ، وَلَكِنْ امْرَأَةً تُمَشِّطُهُنَّ ، وَتُقِومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ ، قَالَ : " أَصَبْتَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me, "Have you gotten married?" I replied, "Yes." He asked, "To a virgin or to one previously married?" I replied, "To one previously married." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why did you not marry a virgin so that you could play with her and she could play with you?" I replied, "O Messenger of Allah! My father was martyred in the Battle of Uhud and he left behind seven daughters. I did not think it appropriate to bring someone like them (i.e., inexperienced); I thought of marrying a woman who could look after them." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You have done the right thing."
