It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was once on a journey with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Suddenly, while walking, my camel stopped at a place and would not move. I heard the voice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Jabir, what has happened to your camel?" I replied, "O Messenger of Allah! I do not understand what has happened to it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Hold it and give me the whip." I gave the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the whip. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck it once, and it took me ahead of everyone. On this occasion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Jabir, will you sell me your camel?" I replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "When we reach Madinah." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Did you get married after your father's martyrdom?" I replied, "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "To a virgin or to a previously married woman?" I replied, "To a previously married woman." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why did you not marry a virgin, so that she would play with you and you would play with her, she would make you laugh and you would make her laugh?"
