| Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: I was with the Prophet in a Ghazwa (Military Expedition) and my camel was slow and exhausted. The Prophet came up to me and said. "O Jabir." I replied. "Yes?" He said. "What is the matter with you?" I replied. "My camel is slow and tired. so I am left behind." So. he got down and poked the camel with his stick and then ordered me to ride. I rode the camel and it became so fast that I had to hold it from going ahead of Allah's Apostle . He then asked me. have you got married?" I replied in the affirmative. He asked. "A virgin or a matron?" I replied. "I married a matron." The Prophet said. "Why have you not married a virgin. so that you may play with her and she may play with you?" Jabir replied. "I have sisters (young in age) so I liked to marry a matron who could collect them all and comb their hair and look after them." The Prophet said. "You will reach. so when you have arrived (at home). I advise you to associate with your wife (that you may have an intelligent son)." Then he asked me. "Would you like to sell your camel?" I replied in the affirmative and the Prophet purchased it for one Uqiya of gold. Allah's Apostle reached before me and I reached in the morning. and when I went to the mosque. I found him at the door of the mosque. He asked me. "Have you arrived just now?" I replied in the affirmative. He said. "Leave your camel and come into (the mosque) and pray two Rakat." I entered and offered the prayer. He told Bilal to weigh and give me one Uqiya of gold. So Bilal weighed for me fairly and I went away. The Prophet sent for me and I thought that he would return to me my camel which I hated more than anything else. But the Prophet said to me. "Take your camel as well as its price." Volume 3. Book 34. Number 310 | |
