6387. Narrated Jābir رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: My father died and left behind seven or nine daughters, and I married a matron. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Did you get married, O Jābir?" I replied, "Yes." He asked, "Is she a virgin or a matron?" I replied, "She is a matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a virgin girl so that you might play with her and she with you (or, you might make her laugh and she make you laugh)?" I said, "My father died, leaving seven or nine girls (orphans) and I did not like to bring a young girl like them, so I married a woman who can look after them." He said, "May Allāh bestow His Blessing on you."

6387 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: هَلَكَ أَبِي وَتَرَكَ سَبْعَ أَوْ تِسْعَ بَنَاتٍ، فَتَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَزَوَّجْتَ يَا جَابِرُ» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «بِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا» قُلْتُ: ثَيِّبًا، قَالَ: «هَلَّا جَارِيَةً تُلاَعِبُهَا وَتُلاَعِبُكَ، أَوْ تُضَاحِكُهَا وَتُضَاحِكُكَ» قُلْتُ: هَلَكَ أَبِي فَتَرَكَ سَبْعَ أَوْ تِسْعَ بَنَاتٍ، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَجِيئَهُنَّ بِمِثْلِهِنَّ، فَتَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً تَقُومُ عَلَيْهِنَّ، قَالَ: «فَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ» لَمْ يَقُلْ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو: «بَارَكَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ»

(1) (H. 6385) None has the right to be worshipped but Allāh, the One and has no partner. To Him belongs the kingdom, and all praise be to Him, and He is Omnipotent. We are returning from our journeys with repentance and worshipping and praising our Lord. He (Allāh) has fulfilled His Promise and helped His slave, and He Alone defeated all the Confederates (of disbelievers).
