It was narrated that Jabir said: "I got married then I came to the Prophet and he said: 'Have you got married, O Jabir?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'To a virgin or to a previously married woman?' I said: 'To a previously married woman.' He said: 'Why not a virgin, so you could play with her and she could play with you?'"
تَزَوَّجْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَتَزَوَّجْتَ يَا جَابِرُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ بِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا فَقُلْتُ ثَيِّبًا قَالَ فَهَلاَّ بِكْرًا تُلاَعِبُهَا وَتُلاَعِبُكَ
Jabir bin ‘Abd Allah said “The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said to me “Did you marry?” I said “Yes”. He again said “Virgin or Non Virgin (woman previously married)?” I said “Non Virgin”. He said “Why (did you) not (marry) a virgin with whom you could sport and she could sport with you.
لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَزَوَّجْتَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ بِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا فَقُلْتُ ثَيِّبًا قَالَ أَفَلاَ بِكْرٌ تُلاَعِبُهَا وَتُلاَعِبُكَ
Jabir bin Abdullah said: “I married a woman during the time of the Prophet and he said: 'Have you got married, O Jabir?' I said: 'Yes'. He said: 'To a virgin or to a previously-married woman?' I said: 'A previously married woman.' He said: 'Why not a virgin so you could play with her?' I said: 'I have sisters and did not want her to create trouble between them and me.' He said: 'That is better then.' ”
تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَتَزَوَّجْتَ يَا جَابِرُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَبِكْرًا أَوْ ثَيِّبًا قُلْتُ ثَيِّبًا قَالَ فَهَلاَّ بِكْرًا تُلاَعِبُهَا قُلْتُ كُنَّ لِي أَخَوَاتٌ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُنَّ قَالَ فَذَاكَ إِذًا
[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "O so-and-so, did you get married?" He replied, "No." The Prophet then asked me, "Did you get married?" I said, "Yes." He asked, "Did you marry a virgin or a previously married woman?" I replied, "Not a virgin, but a previously married woman." The Prophet then said, "So why don't you marry a virgin so that she can bite you and you can bite her?"
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا فُلَانُ تَزَوَّجْتَ؟» فَقَالَ لَا فَقَالَ لِي «تَزَوَّجْتَ؟» فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ «أَبِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا؟» قُلْتُ لَا بَلْ ثَيِّبًا فَقَالَ «فَهَلَّا بِكْرًا تَعَضُّهَا وَتَعَضُّكَ»

[Machine] We were walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he asked me, "Did you get married after your father?" I said, "Yes." He asked, "Did you marry Ayyub or Bakr?" I said, "Ayyub." He said, "Why didn't you marry Bakr? She would make you laugh and you would make her laugh, and she would play with you and you would play with her."
كُنَّا نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي «أَتَزَوَّجْتَ بَعْدَ أَبِيكَ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «أَثَيِّبًا أَمْ بِكْرًا؟» قُلْتُ ثَيِّبًا قَالَ «فَهَلَّا تَزَوَّجْتَ بِكْرًا تُضَاحِكُكَ وَتُضَاحِكُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ وَتُلَاعِبُهَا»
