English translation
4642. It was narrated that Jâbir said: "I went on a campaign with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, riding a camel of ours," then he quoted the whole Hadîth. Then he said words to the effect that: "The camel got tired and the Prophet ﷺ hit it, so it became energetic and came to the front of the army. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'O Jâbir, I see that your camel has become energetic.' I said: 'It is because of your blessing, O Messenger of Allâh.' He said: 'Sell it to me, and you can ride it till we arrive (in Al-Madînah).' So I sold it to him. I was in great need of it myself but I felt too shy to refuse. When we finished our campaign, and we were close to Al-Madînah, I asked his permission to go on ahead. I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, I am newly married.' He said: 'Have you married a virgin or a previously married woman?' I said: 'A previously married woman, O Messenger of Allâh.' Abdullâh bin 'Amr died and left behind young daughters, and I did not like to bring to them someone who was like them, so I married a previously married woman who could teach them, and raise them with good manners.' So he gave me permission, and said to me: 'Go to your family at the end of the day.' When I arrived, I told my maternal uncle that I had sold the camel and he scolded me. When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came, I brought the camel to him, and he gave me the price of the camel, and the camel, and a share (of the spoils of war) with the rest of the people.” (Sahîh)
