English translation
[3640] 57 - (...) It was narrated that Jâbir bin ‘Abdullâh said: “We were with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ on a campaign, and when we were heading back I urged my camel on because it was slow. A rider behind me caught up with me and prodded my camel with an 'Anazah[1] that he had with him, and my camel moved forward like the best camel you have ever seen. I turned around and there was the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. He said: 'Why are you in such a hurry, O Jâbir?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, I have recently got married.' He said: 'Did you marry a virgin or a previously-married woman?' I said: 'A previously-married woman.' He said: 'Why not a young virgin who you could play with and she could play with you?'" "When we came to Al-Madînah, we wanted to enter but he said: 'Slow down so we can enter at night, so that the women whose hair is disheveled may comb their hair, and the women whose husbands have been away may shave their pubes.' And he said: 'When you arrive, be smart, be smart.'"[2]
