English translation
[3642] 58 - (...) It was narrated that Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh said: "We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and I was on a camel that lagged behind the people. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ struck it," or prodded it - I think he said, "with something that he had with him. After that it started going ahead of the people and I was struggling to restrain it. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Will you sell it to me for such-and-such, may Allâh forgive you?' I said: 'It is yours, O Prophet of Allâh.' He said: 'Will you sell it to me for such-and-such, may Allâh forgive you?' I said: 'It is yours, O Prophet of Allâh.' He said to me: 'Did you get married after your father died?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'A previously-married woman or a virgin?' I said: 'A previously-married woman.' He said: 'Why didn't you marry a virgin who could make you laugh and you could make her laugh, and she could play with you and you could play with her?'" Abû Nadrâh said: "That was a phrase that the Muslims used to say: 'Do such and such; may Allâh forgive you.'"
