Chapter: What was narrated concerning the virtue of marriage
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَلَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ ” أَتَزَوَّجْتَ يَا جَابِرُ ” . قُلْتُ نَعَمْ . قَالَ ” أَبِكْرًا أَوْ ثَيِّبًا ” . قُلْتُ ثَيِّبًا . قَالَ ” فَهَلاَّ بِكْرًا تُلاَعِبُهَا ” . قُلْتُ كُنَّ لِي أَخَوَاتٌ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُنَّ . قَالَ ” فَذَاكَ إِذًا ” .
It was narrated that: Jabir bin Abdullah said: “I married a woman during the time of the Prophet and he said: ‘Have you got married, O Jabir?’ I said: ‘Yes’. He said: ‘To a virgin or to a previously-married woman?’ I said: ‘A previously married woman.’ He said: ‘Why not a virgin so you could play with her?’ I said: ‘I have sisters and did not want her to create trouble between them and me.’ He said: ‘That is better then.’ ”
