4642. It was narrated that Jâbir said: "I went on a campaign with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, riding a camel of ours," then he quoted the whole Hadîth. Then he said words to the effect that: "The camel got tired and the Prophet ﷺ hit it, so it became energetic and came to the front of the army. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'O Jâbir, I see that your camel has become energetic.' I said: 'It is because of your blessing, O Messenger of Allâh.' He said: 'Sell it to me, and you can ride it till we arrive (in Al-Madînah).' So I sold it to him. I was in great need of it myself but I felt too shy to refuse. When we finished our campaign, and we were close to Al-Madînah, I asked his permission to go on ahead. I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, I am newly married.' He said: 'Have you married a virgin or a previously married woman?' I said: 'A previously married woman, O Messenger of Allâh.' Abdullâh bin 'Amr died and left behind young daughters, and I did not like to bring to them someone who was like them, so I married a previously married woman who could teach them, and raise them with good manners.' So he gave me permission, and said to me: 'Go to your family at the end of the day.' When I arrived, I told my maternal uncle that I had sold the camel and he scolded me. When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came, I
brought the camel to him, and he gave me the price of the camel, and the camel, and a share (of the spoils of war) with the rest of the people.” (Sahîh)

4638 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ الطَّبَّاعِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: غَزَوْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى نَاضِحٍ لَنَا، ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ كَلَامًا مَعْنَاهُ، فَأُزْحِفَ الْجَمَلُ فَزَجَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَانْتَشَطَ حَتَّى كَانَ أَمَامَ الْجَيْشِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا جَابِرُ، مَا أَرَى جَمَلَكَ إِلَّا قَدْ انْتَشَطَ»، قُلْتُ: بِبَرَكَتِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «بِعْنِيهِ، وَلَكَ ظَهْرُهُ حَتَّى تَقْدَمَ» فَبِعْتُهُ، وَكَانَتْ لِي إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ، وَلَكِنِّي اسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْهُ، فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا غَزَاتَنَا وَدَنَوْنَا اسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ بِالتَّعْجِيلِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِعُرْسٍ، قَالَ: «أَبِكْرًا تَزَوَّجْتَ أَمْ ثَيِّبًا؟»، قُلْتُ: بَلْ ثَيِّبًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو أُصِيبَ، وَتَرَكَ جَوَارِيَ أَبْكَارًا، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ آتِيَهُنَّ بِمِثْلِهِنَّ، فَتَزَوَّجْتُ ثَيِّبًا تُعَلِّمُهُنَّ وَتُؤَدِّبُهُنَّ، فَأَذِنَ لِي، وَقَالَ لِي: «ائْتِ أَهْلَكَ عِشَاءً». فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ، أَخْبَرْتُ خَالِي بِبَيْعِي الْجَمَلَ فَلَامَنِي، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَدَوْتُ بِالْجَمَلِ، فَأَعْطَانِي ثَمَنَ الْجَمَلِ وَالْجَمَلَ، وَسَهْمًا مَعَ النَّاسِ
