English narration

Narrated by جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري

When I got married, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "What type of lady have you married?" I replied, "I have married a matron' He said, "Why, don't you have a liking for the virgins and for fondling them?" Jabir also said Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you might play with her and she with you?'
