Sahih al-Bukhari 6148 (Book 80, Hadith 82)
“Did you get married, O Jabir?” I replied, “Yes.” He asked, “Is she a virgin or a matron?” I replied,
“She is a matron.” He said, “Why didn’t you marry a virgin girl so that you might play with her and
she with you (or, you might make her laugh and she make you laugh)?” I said, “My father died,
leaving seven or nine girls (orphans) and I did not like to bring a young girl like them, so I married a
woman who can look after them.” He said, “May Allah bestow His Blessing on you.”
