حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، ح وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَزْرَقُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " يَا جَابِرُ، أَتَزَوَّجْتَ؟ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " بِكْرًا أَوْ، ، ثَيِّبًا؟ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: ثَيِّبًا، قَالَ: " أَلَا بِكْرًا تُلَاعِبُهَا "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كُنَّ لِي أَخَوَاتٌ، فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُنَّ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ تُنْكَحُ لَدِينِهَا، وَمَالِهَا، وَجَمَالِهَا، فَعَلَيْكَ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ، تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) asked me, "Have you gotten married?" I replied, "Yes." He asked, "To a virgin or to one previously married?" I replied, "To one previously married, because I have younger sisters and paternal aunts, and I did not consider it appropriate to bring someone as inexperienced as them among them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why did you not marry a virgin so that you could play with her?" Then he said, "A woman is married for her religion, wealth, and beauty; you should select the religious one for yourself. May your hands be dust-covered."
