I was with the Prophet ﷺ on a military expedition when my camel slowed down and grew exhausted. The Prophet ﷺ came up to me and said, "Jabir?"I said, "Yes."He asked, "What's the matter with you?"I said, "My camel has slowed down on me and grown tired, so I have fallen behind."He dismounted and began prodding the camel with his curved staff, then said, "Mount." So I mounted, and indeed I had to hold him back from outpacing the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.He asked, "Have you married?"I said, "Yes."He asked, "A virgin or a previously married woman?"I said, "A previously married woman."He said, "Why not a young girl, so you could play with her and she with you?"I said, "I have sisters, so I wanted to marry a woman who would gather them, comb their hair, and look after them."He said, "You are about to arrive home. When you arrive, be wise, be wise."Then he said, "Will you sell me your camel?"I said, "Yes." So he bought it from me for an ounce of silver.Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived before me, and I arrived in the morning. We came to the mosque and I found him at its entrance.He said, "Have you just now arrived?"I said, "Yes."He said, "Then leave your camel, come in, and pray two rakahs." So I went in and prayed.He then ordered Bilal to weigh out an ounce of silver for me. Bilal weighed it out and tipped the scale generously in my favor. I set off, and once I had turned away, he said, "Call Jabir for me."I thought, "Now he is going to return the camel to me," and there was nothing more hateful to me than that.He said, "Take your camel, and the price is yours as well."
حدثنا محمد بن بشار حدثنا عبد الوهاب حدثنا عبيد الله عن وهب بن كيسان
كنت مع النبي ﷺ في غزاة فأبطأ بي جملي وأعيا فأتى علي النبي ﷺ فقال جابر فقلت نعم قال ما شأنك قلت أبطأ علي جملي وأعيا فتخلفت فنزل يحجنه بمحجنه ثم قال اركب فركبت فلقد رأيته أكفه عن رسول الله ﷺ قال تزوجت قلت نعم قال بكرا أم ثيبا قلت بل ثيبا قال أفلا جارية تلاعبها وتلاعبك قلت إن لي أخوات فأحببت أن أتزوج امرأة تجمعهن وتمشطهن وتقوم عليهن قال أما إنك قادم فإذا قدمت فالكيس الكيس ثم قال أتبيع جملك قلت نعم فاشتراه مني بأوقية ثم قدم رسول الله ﷺ قبلي وقدمت بالغداة فجئنا إلى المسجد فوجدته على باب المسجد قال أالآن قدمت قلت نعم قال فدع جملك فادخل فصل ركعتين فدخلت فصليت فأمر بلالا أن يزن له أوقية فوزن لي بلال فأرجح لي في الميزان فانطلقت حتى وليت فقال ادع لي جابرا قلت الآن يرد علي الجمل ولم يكن شيء أبغض إلي منه قال خذ جملك ولك ثمنه
