حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي الْأَسْوَدُ، عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا جَابِرُ، أَلَكَ امْرَأَةٌ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " أَثَيِّبًا نَكَحْتَ، أَمْ بِكْرًا؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: تَزَوَّجْتُهَا، وَهِيَ ثَيِّبٌ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِي: " فَهَلَّا تَزَوَّجْتَهَا جُوَيْرِيَةً "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: قُتِلَ أَبِي مَعَكَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَتَرَكَ جَوَارِيَ، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَضُمَّ إِلَيْهِنَّ جَارِيَةً كَإِحْدَاهُنَّ، فَتَزَوَّجْتُ ثَيِّبًا تَقْصَعُ قَمْلَةَ إِحْدَاهُنَّ، وَتَخِيطُ دِرْعَ إِحْدَاهُنَّ إِذَا تَخَرَّقَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَإِنَّكَ نِعْمَ مَا رَأَيْتَ " (٢)، ،

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 a previously married woman?" I replied, "To a previously married woman." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why did you not marry a virgin?" I replied, "My father was martyred with you on such and such occasion and left behind some young daughters. I did not think it appropriate to bring someone like them among them, so I married a previously married woman so that she could look after them, check their hair for lice, and sew their clothes if they got torn." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have thought well."
