1261 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، قِيلَ تِلْقَاءَ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَنَكَحْتَ يَا جَابِرُ؟» ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «أَبِكْرٌ أَمْ ثَيِّبٌ؟» قُلْتُ: ثَيِّبٌ، قَالَ: «فَهَلَّا جَارِيَةً تُلَاعِبُكَ تُلَاعِبُهَا» ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُتِلَ أَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، وَتَرَكَ تِسْعَ بَنَاتٍ، وَكُنَّ لِي تِسْعَ أَخَواتٍ، فَلَمْ أُحِبَّ أَنْ أَجْمَعَ إِلَيْهِنَّ جَارِيَةً خَرْقَاءَ مِثْلَهُنَّ، وَلَكِنِ امْرَأَةٌ تُمَشِّطُهُنَّ، وَتَقُومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ، قَالَ: «أَصَبْتَ»
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, “O Jabir! Have you gotten married?” I replied, “Yes.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, “To a virgin or to a previously married woman?” I replied, “To a previously married woman.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Why did you not marry a young girl so that she would be cheerful with you and you would be cheerful with her?” I replied, “O Messenger of Allah! My father was martyred on the day of Uhud. He left behind nine daughters, so I have nine sisters. I did not like to bring a young girl among them who would be of similar age to them. I wanted to bring a wife who would comb their hair and take care of them.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “You have done the right thing.”
