حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَارِبٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَلْ تَزَوَّجْتَ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «أَبِكْرًا، أَمْ ثَيِّبًا؟» قُلْتُ: ثَيِّبًا، قَالَ: «فَأَيْنَ أَنْتَ مِنَ الْعَذَارَى، وَلِعَابِهَا»، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ جَابِرٍ، وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ: «فَهَلَّا جَارِيَةً تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ».

I married a woman, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said to me: Have you married? I said: Yes. He said: Is it a virgin or a previously married one (widow or divorced)? I said: With a previously married one, whereupon he said: Where had you been (away) from the amusements of virgins? Shu'ba said: I made a mention of it to 'Amr bin Dinar and he said: I too heard from Jabir رضی اللہ عنہ making mention of that (that Allah's Apostle ﷺ) said: Why didn't you marry a girl, so that you might sport with her and she might sport with you?
