\nNarrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:\n \n\nWhile we were returning from a Ghazwa (Holy Battle) with the Prophet, I started driving my camel \nfast, as it was a lazy camel A rider came behind me and pricked my camel with a spear he had with \nhim, and then my camel started running as fast as the best camel you may see. Behold! The rider was \nthe Prophet (ﷺ) himself. He said, 'What makes you in such a hurry?" I replied, I am newly married " He \nsaid, "Did you marry a virgin or a matron? I replied, "A matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a \nyoung girl so that you may play with her and she with you?" When we were about to enter (Medina), \nthe Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Wait so that you may enter (Medina) at night so that the lady of unkempt hair may \ncomb her hair and the one whose husband has been absent may shave her pubic region.\n

\nحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَفَلْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ غَزْوَةٍ فَتَعَجَّلْتُ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ لِي قَطُوفٍ، فَلَحِقَنِي رَاكِبٌ مِنْ خَلْفِي، فَنَخَسَ بَعِيرِي بِعَنَزَةٍ كَانَتْ مَعَهُ، فَانْطَلَقَ بَعِيرِي كَأَجْوَدِ مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ مِنَ الإِبِلِ، فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا يُعْجِلُكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ كُنْتُ حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِعُرُسٍ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ بِكْرًا أَمْ ثَيِّبًا ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ ثَيِّبٌ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَهَلاَّ جَارِيَةً تُلاَعِبُهَا وَتُلاَعِبُكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبْنَا لِنَدْخُلَ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَمْهِلُوا حَتَّى تَدْخُلُوا لَيْلاً ـ أَىْ عِشَاءً ـ لِكَىْ تَمْتَشِطَ الشَّعِثَةُ وَتَسْتَحِدَّ الْمُغِيبَةُ ‏"‏‏.‏
