Bayhaqi 13471 — It is recommended to marry virgins

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي، ثنا عَارِمٌ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ، وَمُسَدَّدٌ، يَتَقَارَبُونَ فِي اللَّفْظِ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ، قَالُوا: ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: " تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَتَرَكَ سَبْعَ بَنَاتٍ أَوْ تِسْعَ بَنَاتٍ قَالَ جَابِرٌ: فَتَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً ثَيِّبًا، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " تَزَوَّجْتَ يَا جَابِرُ؟ " فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: " بِكْرًا أَوْ ثَيِّبًا؟ " قُلْتُ: بَلْ ثَيِّبًا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: " فَهَلَّا جَارِيَةٌ تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ وَتُضَاحِكُهَا وَتُضَاحِكُكَ؟ " قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَكَ سَبْعَ بَنَاتٍ، أَوْ قَالَ: تِسْعَ بَنَاتٍ وَإِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ آتِيَهُنَّ بِمِثْلِهِنَّ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ آتِيَهُنَّ بِامْرَأَةٍ تَقُومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ، فَقَالَ: " بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ "، أَوْ قَالَ: " خَيْرًا "، رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ عَارِمٍ وَمُسَدَّدٍ، وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ.
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Abdullah died and left behind seven or nine daughters. Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I married a previously married woman. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me: "O Jabir! Have you married?" I said: "Yes!" He said: "A virgin or a previously married woman?" I said: "A previously married woman." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not marry a young virgin? You would play with her and she would play with you, you would laugh with her and she would laugh with you." I said: "Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) died and left seven or nine daughters, and I disliked bringing them someone just like them. I preferred to bring them a woman who would look after them well." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah Almighty bless you," or he said: "(May He grant you) good."
