The reader: He mentioned it to 'Amr ibn Dinar, who said, "I have heard it from Jabir, and he only said Sahih Muslim 715f."
The Shaykh : This hadith was presented by the author with different wordings. Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) married this woman after his father was martyred at Uhud. He had sisters, so he married a previously married woman to take care of these sisters and to prevent separation between him and them. If he had married a virgin, he might have been distracted by her from his sisters. Therefore, he chose a previously married woman for this purpose. Accordingly, this constitutes a fifth objective, which is that a person marries a woman to raise his children, for example, his young ones or his sisters, or the like.
Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you could sport with her and she could sport with you
