أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نَضْرَةَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
كُنَّا نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي «أَتَزَوَّجْتَ بَعْدَ أَبِيكَ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «أَثَيِّبًا أَمْ بِكْرًا؟» قُلْتُ ثَيِّبًا قَالَ «فَهَلَّا تَزَوَّجْتَ بِكْرًا تُضَاحِكُكَ وَتُضَاحِكُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ وَتُلَاعِبُهَا»

✧ We were traveling with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said to me, “Did you marry after your father?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “A previously married woman or a virgin?” I said, “A previously married woman.” He said, “Why not a virgin whom you could laugh with and she could laugh with you, and play with you and you play with her?”
