5245. Narrated Jābir: I was with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in a Ghazwa, and when we returned, I wanted to hurry, while riding a slow camel. A rider came behind me. I looked back and saw that the rider was Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. He said (to me), "What makes you in such a hurry?" I replied, "I am newly married." He said, "Did you marry a virgin or a matron?" I replied, "(Not a virgin but) a matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl with whom you would have played and she would have played with you?" Then when we approached (Al-Madīna) and were going to enter (it), the Prophet ﷺ said, "Wait till you enter (your homes) in the night i.e., at the time of Ishā (prayer) so that the ladies with unkempt hair may comb their hair, and those whose husbands have been absent (for a long time) may shave their pubic hair." (The subnarrator, Hashim said: A reliable narrator told me that the Prophet ﷺ added in this Hadīth: "(Seek to beget) children! children, O Jābir!")
