Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَتَزَوَّجْتَ " . قُلْتُ نَعَمْ . قَالَ " بِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا " . فَقُلْتُ ثَيِّبًا . قَالَ " أَفَلاَبِكْرٌ تُلاَعِبُهَا وَتُلاَعِبُكَ " .
Translation
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me, "Did you marry?" I said, "Yes." He said, "A virgin or a previously married woman?" I said, "A previously married woman." He said, "Why not a virgin, so that you could play with her and she could play with you?"
