Chapter 12 · The Book on Marriageحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: أَتَزَوَّجْتَ يَا جَابِرُ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ: بِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا ؟ فَقُلْتُ: لَا بَلْ ثَيِّبًا، فَقَالَ: هَلَّا جَارِيَةً تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ سَبْعَ بَنَاتٍ أَوْ تِسْعًا، فَجِئْتُ بِمَنْ يَقُومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ، قَالَ: فَدَعَا لِي. قَالَ: وَفِي الْبَاب، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، وَكَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: حَدِيثُ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Jabir bin Abdullah narrated: I married a woman and went to the Prophet, he said: 'O Jabir! Have you married?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'A virgin or a matron?' I said: 'A matron.' He said: 'Why didn't you marry a young girl, so that you may play with her and she with you?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Abdullah (his father) died and left behind seven - or nine - daughter, so I have brought someone who can look after them.' (He said:) So he supplicated for me.
