حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَتَزَوَّجْتَ ؟ " قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " بِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا " ، فَقُلْتُ : " ثَيِّبًا " ، قَالَ : "

أَفَلَا بِكْرٌ تُلَاعِبُهَا وَتُلَاعِبُكَ ؟
