English translation
Narrated Jabir:
It was narrated that Jabir said: "I got married then I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: 'Have you got married, O Jabir?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'To a virgin or to a previously married woman?' I said: 'To a previously married woman.' He said: 'Why not a virgin, so you could play with her and she could play with you?'"
