Sunan an-Nasa'i · Hadith 3219

أخبرنا قتيبة، قال حدثنا حماد، عن عمرو، عن جابر، قال تزوجت فأتيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال ‏"‏ أتزوجت يا جابر ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قلت نعم ‏.‏ قال ‏"‏ بكرا أم ثيبا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فقلت ثيبا ‏.‏ قال ‏"‏ فهلا بكرا تلاعبها وتلاعبك ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Narrated Jabir: It was narrated that Jabir said: "I got married then I came to the Prophet and he said: 'Have you got married, O Jabir?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'To a virgin or to a previously married woman?' I said: 'To a previously married woman.' He said: 'Why not a virgin, so you could play with her and she could play with you?'"
