\nNarrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:\n \n\nI was accompanying the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey and was riding a slow camel that was lagging behind \nthe others. The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by me and asked, "Who is this?" I replied, "Jabir bin `Abdullah." He \nasked, "What is the matter, (why are you late)?" I replied, "I am riding a slow camel." He asked, "Do \nyou have a stick?" I replied in the affirmative. He said, "Give it to me." When I gave it to him, he beat \nthe camel and rebuked it. Then that camel surpassed the others thenceforth. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Sell it \nto me." I replied, "It is (a gift) for you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He said, "Sell it to me. I have bought it for \nfour Dinars (gold pieces) and you can keep on riding it till Medina." When we approached Medina, I \nstarted going (towards my house). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Where are you going?" I Sa`d, "I have married a \nwidow." He said, "Why have you not married a virgin to fondle with each other?" I said, "My father \ndied and left daughters, so I decided to marry a widow (an experienced woman) (to look after them)." \nHe said, "Well done." When we reached Medina, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Bilal, pay him (the price of \nthe camel) and give him extra money." Bilal gave me four Dinars and one Qirat extra. (A sub-narrator \nsaid): Jabir added, "The extra Qirat of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) never parted from me." The Qirat was always in \nJabir bin `Abdullah's purse.\n
