وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَقِيتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «يَا جَابِرُ تَزَوَّجْتَ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «بِكْرٌ، أَمْ ثَيِّبٌ؟» قُلْتُ: ثَيِّبٌ، قَالَ: «فَهَلَّا بِكْرًا تُلَاعِبُهَا؟» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: إِنَّ لِي أَخَوَاتٍ، فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُنَّ، قَالَ: «فَذَاكَ إِذَنْ، إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ تُنْكَحُ عَلَى دِينِهَا، وَمَالِهَا، وَجَمَالِهَا، فَعَلَيْكَ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ».

I married a woman during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). I met the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌), whereupon he said: Jabir, have you married? I said: Yes. He said: A virgin or one previously marrried? I said: With due previously married, whereupon he said: Why did you not marry a virgin with whom you could sport? I said: Allah's Messenger, I have sisters; I was afraid that she might intervene between me and them, whereupon he said: Well and good, if it is so. A woman is married for four reasons, for her religion, her property, her status, her beauty, so you should choose one with religion. May your hands cleave to dust.
