5367. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: My father died and left seven or nine girls and I married a matron. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to me, "O Jābir! Have you married?" I said, "Yes." He said, "A virgin or a matron?" I replied, "A matron." He said, "Why not a virgin, so that you might play with her and she with you, and you might amuse her and she amuse you.” I said, “‘Abdullāh (my father) died and left girls, and I dislike to marry a girl like them, so I married a lady (matron) so that she may look after them.” On that he said, “May Allāh bless you,” or “That is good.”
