Bayhaqi 13467 — It is recommended to marry a religious woman

أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ الْأَزْرَقُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَقِيَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ: " يَا جَابِرُ تَزَوَّجْتَ؟ " قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: " بِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا؟ " قَالَ: ثَيِّبًا قَالَ: " أَفَلَا بِكْرًا تُلَاعِبُهَا؟ " قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَانَ لِي أَخَوَاتٌ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُنَّ قَالَ: " فَذَاكَ أَمَا إِنَّ امْرَأَةً " تُنْكَحُ عَلَى دِينِهَا وَمَالِهَا وَجَمَالِهَا فَعَلَيْكَ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ "، أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that he married a woman in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Jabir! Have you married?" He said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A virgin or a previously married woman?" He said that she was previously married. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not marry a virgin, so that she would play with you?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I had sisters, and I feared that she would come between me and them." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A woman is married for her wealth, her religion or her beauty. May your hands be covered in dust; give preference to the one with religion."
