حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی وَأَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ قَالَ يَحْيَی أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ هَلَکَ وَتَرَکَ تِسْعَ بَنَاتٍ أَوْ قَالَ سَبْعَ فَتَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً ثَيِّبًا فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا جَابِرُ تَزَوَّجْتَ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَبِکْرٌ أَمْ ثَيِّبٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلْ ثَيِّبٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَهَلَّا جَارِيَةً تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُکَ أَوْ قَالَ تُضَاحِکُهَا وَتُضَاحِکُکَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ هَلَکَ وَتَرَکَ تِسْعَ بَنَاتٍ أَوْ سَبْعَ وَإِنِّي کَرِهْتُ أَنْ آتِيَهُنَّ أَوْ أَجِيئَهُنَّ بِمِثْلِهِنَّ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَجِيئَ بِامْرَأَةٍ تَقُومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَتُصْلِحُهُنَّ قَالَ فَبَارَکَ اللَّهُ لَکَ أَوْ قَالَ لِي خَيْرًا وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُکَ وَتُضَاحِکُهَا وَتُضَاحِکُکَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 3638
Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported: I married a woman, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to me: Have you married? I said: Yes. He said: Is it a virgin or a previously married one (widow or divorced)? I said: With a previously married one, whereupon he said: Where had you been (away) from the amusements of virgins? Shu'ba said: I made a mention of it to 'Amr b. Dinar and he said: I too heard from Jabir making mention of that (that Allah's Apostle) said: Why didn't you marry a girl, so that you might sport with her and she might sport with you?
