حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏

"‏ أَتَزَوَّجْتَ يَا جَابِرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ بِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ لاَ بَلْ ثَيِّبًا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ هَلاَّ جَارِيَةً تُلاَعِبُهَا وَتُلاَعِبُكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ سَبْعَ بَنَاتٍ أَوْ تِسْعًا فَجِئْتُ بِمَنْ يَقُومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَدَعَا لِي

Jabir bin Abdullah narrated:

"I married a woman and went to the Prophet, he said: 'O Jabir! Have you married?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'A virgin or a matron?' I said: 'A matron.' He said: 'Why didn't you marry a young girl, so that you may play with her and she with you?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Abdullah (his father) died and left behind seven - or nine - daughter, so I have brought someone who can look after them.'" (He said:) "So he supplicated for me."

Al-Mubarakfuri — Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi

قَوْلُهُ : ( هَلَّا جَارِيَةً ) أَيْ بِكْرًا ( تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُك ) فِيهِ أَنَّ تَزَوُّجَ الْبِكْرِ أَوْلَى , وَأَنَّ الْمُلَاعَبَةَ مَعَ الزَّوْجَةِ مَنْدُوبٌ إِلَيْهَا , قَالَ الطِّيبِيُّ : وَهُوَ عِبَارَةٌ عَنْ الْأُلْفَةِ التَّامَّةِ , فَإِنَّ الثَّيِّبَ قَدْ تَكُونُ مُعَلَّقَةَ الْقَلْبِ بِالزَّوْجِ الْأَوَّلِ فَلَمْ تَكُنْ مَحَبَّتُهَا كَامِلَةً ; بِخِلَافِ الْبِكْرِ. وَعَلَيْهِ مَا وَرَدَ : عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْأَبْكَارِ فَإِنَّهُنَّ أَشَدُّ حُبًّا وَأَقَلُّ خِبًّا ( فَجِئْت بِمِنْ يَقُومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ ) وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِلْبُخَارِيِّ : كُنَّ لِي تِسْعُ أَخَوَاتٍ , فَكَرِهْت أَنْ أَجْمَعَ إِلَيْهِنَّ جَارِيَةً خَرْقَاءَ مِثْلَهُنَّ , وَلَكِنْ اِمْرَأَةً تَقُومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَتُمَشِّط…
