Sahih al-Bukhari 5038 (Book 67, Hadith 180)
hurry while riding a slow camel. A rider overtook me and pricked my camel with a spear which he
had, whereupon my camel started running as fast as any other fast camel you may see. I looked back,
and behold, the rider was Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) . I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I am newly married ” He asked,
“Have you got married?” I replied, “Yes.” He said, “A virgin or a matron?” I replied, “(Not a virgin)
but a matron” He said, “Why didn’t you marry a young girl so that you could play with her and she
with you?” When we reached (near Medina) and were going to enter it, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Wait till
you enter your home early in the night so that the lady whose hair is unkempt may comb her hair and
that the lady whose husband has been away may shave her pubic hair.”
