The reciter: Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us, Hisham informed us from Sayyar from al-Sha'bi from Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah, who said:
We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a military expedition. When we returned, I hurried on a camel of mine that was a "qatuf" (a camel that has lost its hump). A rider behind me caught up with me and pricked my camel with a spear he had with him, so my camel went off as the best of camels you have ever seen. I turned around and saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said, "What is hastening you, O Jabir?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have recently married." He said, "Did you marry 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?" When we arrived at al-Madinah, we wanted to enter, but he said, "Wait until we enter at night, that is, in the evening, so that the disheveled woman can comb her hair and the one who has been away can shave." He also said, "When you arrive, be wise, be wise."
كنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في غزاة فلما أقبلنا تعجلت على بعير لي قطوف، فلحقني راكب خلفي فنخس بعيري بعنزة كانت معه فانطلق بعيري كأجود ما أنت راء من الإبل، فالتفت فإذا أنا برسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: ما يعجلك يا جابر؟ قلت يا رسول الله إني حديث عهد بعرس فقال: أبكرا تزوجتها أم ثيبا؟ قال قلت بل ثيبا قال: هلا جارية تلاعبها وتلاعبك، قال فلما قدمنا المدينة ذهبنا لندخل فقال أمهلوا حتى ندخل ليلا أي عشاء كي تمتشط الشعثة وتستحد المغيبة قال وقال: إذا قدمت فالكيس الكيس
