I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a military expedition, and my camel grew slow and held me back. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came up to me and said, "Jabir."I said, "Yes."He asked, "What is the matter with you?"I replied, "My camel has slowed me down and grown weary, so I have fallen behind."He dismounted and prodded the camel with his staff, then said, "Mount."So I mounted, and indeed I found myself having to hold it back from getting ahead of 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 could gather them together, 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, and I arrived in the morning. I came to the mosque and found him at its door.He asked, "Have you only just arrived?"I said, "Yes."He said, "Then leave your camel and come in and pray two rakahs."So I went in and prayed, then returned. He instructed Bilal to weigh out an ounce for me, and Bilal weighed it for me, tipping the scale in my favor. I set off, and when I had turned away he said, "Call Jabir for me."I was called back, and I thought to myself, "Now he will return the camel to me," and there was nothing more disliked by me than that.But he said, "Take your camel, and the price is yours as well."
حدثنا محمد بن المثنى حدثنا عبد الوهاب يعني ابن عبد المجيد الثقفي حدثنا عبيد الله عن وهب بن كيسان
خرجت مع رسول الله ﷺ في غزاة فأبطأ بي جملي فأتى علي رسول الله ﷺ فقال لي يا جابر قلت نعم قال ما شأنك قلت أبطأ بي جملي وأعيا فتخلفت فنزل فحجنه بمحجنه ثم قال اركب فركبت فلقد رأيتني أكفه عن رسول الله ﷺ فقال أتزوجت فقلت نعم فقال أبكرا أم ثيبا فقلت بل ثيب قال فهلا 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 وقدمت بالغداة فجئت المسجد فوجدته على باب المسجد فقال الآن حين قدمت قلت نعم قال فدع جملك وادخل فصل ركعتين قال فدخلت فصليت ثم رجعت فأمر بلالا أن يزن لي أوقية فوزن لي بلال فأرجح في الميزان قال فانطلقت فلما وليت قال ادع لي جابرا فدعيت فقلت الآن يرد علي الجمل ولم يكن شيء أبغض إلي منه فقال خذ جملك ولك ثمنه
