1861. It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Sâlim bin 'Utbah bin 'Uwaim bin Sâ'idah Al-Ansâri, from his father, that his grandfather said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'You should marry virgins, for their mouths are sweeter, their wombs are more prolific and they are satisfied with less." (Da'if).
1861 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ التَّيْمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَالِمِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عُوَيْمِ بْنِ سَاعِدَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْأَبْكَارِ، فَإِنَّهُنَّ أَعْذَبُ أَفْوَاهًا، وَأَنْتَقُ أَرْحَامًا، وَأَرْضَى بِالْيَسِيرِ» بَابُ تَزْوِيجِ الْحَرَائِرِ وَالْوَلُودِ

Widows and divorced women should also be married; but if the hand of a widow and that of a woman who has never been married is available, the one who has never been married should be given preference; particularly, when the man is young. 'Sweet mouth' means those who have not previously been married are more bashful; they try more to keep their husbands happy, and they avoid harshness in conversation. Contentment is a good quality, and the woman who has this quality will prove to be a good wife.
