English Translation

Hajjaj narrated to us, he said: I heard Shu'bah narrate more than once, from Muharib ibn Dithar, he said: I heard Jabir ibn Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) say: I married a previously married woman. the Prophet ﷺ said to me: 'Have you married?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'A virgin or a previously married woman?' I said: 'A previously married woman.' He said: 'Why not a young girl with whom you could play and who could play with you?'
