أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ هُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو يَعْنِي ابْنَ دِينَارٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ
تَزَوَّجْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَوَ تَزَوَّجْتَ يَا جَابِرُ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «بِكْرٌ أَمْ ثَيِّبٌ؟» فَقُلْتُ لَا بَلْ ثَيِّبٌ قَالَ «فَهَلَّا بِكْرًا تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ»

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?'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3219)
