Chapter 19 · The Book of Sucklingحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، قَالَ يَحْيَى: أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ هَلَكَ، وَتَرَكَ تِسْعَ بَنَاتٍ - أَوْ قَالَ سَبْعَ - فَتَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً ثَيِّبًا، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا جَابِرُ، تَزَوَّجْتَ؟» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَبِكْرٌ، أَمْ ثَيِّبٌ؟» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلْ ثَيِّبٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: «فَهَلَّا جَارِيَةً تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ»، أَوْ قَالَ: «تُضَاحِكُهَا وَتُضَاحِكُكَ»، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ هَلَكَ، وَتَرَكَ تِسْعَ بَنَاتٍ - أَوْ سَبْعَ -، وَإِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ آتِيَهُنَّ أَوْ أَجِيئَهُنَّ بِمِثْلِهِنَّ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَجِيءَ بِامْرَأَةٍ تَقُومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ، وَتُصْلِحُهُنَّ، قَالَ: «فَبَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ» أَوْ قَالَ لِي خَيْرًا، وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ: «تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ، وَتُضَاحِكُهَا وَتُضَاحِكُكَ.

'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ died and he left (behind him) nine or seven daughters. I married a woman who had been previously married. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to me: Jabir رضی اللہ عنہ, have you married? I said: Yes. He (again) said: A virgin or one previously married? I said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ, with one who was previously married, whereupon he said: Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you could sport with her and she could sport with you, or you could amuse with her and she could amuse with you? I said to him: 'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ died (he fell as martyr in Uhud) and left nine or seven daughters behind him; I, therefore, did not approve of the idea that I should bring a (girl) like them, but I preferred to bring a woman who should look after them and teach them good manners, whereupon he (Allah's Messenger) said: May Allah bless you, or he supplicated (for the) good (to be) conferred on me (by Allah).
