Volume 7, Book 62, Number 17:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
When I got married, Allah's Apostle said to me, "What type of lady have you married?" I replied, "I
have married a matron' He said, "Why, don't you have a liking for the virgins and for fondling
them?" Jabir also said: Allah's Apostle said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you might
play with her and she with you?'
