in the affirmative. So, Muhammad bin Maslama went to him (i.e. Ka’b) and said, “This person (i.e. the
Prophet) has put us to task and asked us for charity.” Ka’b replied, “By Allah, you will get tired of
him.” Muhammad said to him, “We have followed him, so we dislike to leave him till we see the end
of his affair.” Muhammad bin Maslama went on talking to him in this way till he got the chance to

Volume 4 Book 52 Hadith 211

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 211:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
I participated in a Ghazwa along with Allah’s Apostle The Prophet met me (on the way) while I
was riding a camel of ours used for irrigation and it had got so tired that it could hardly walk. The
Prophet asked me, “What is wrong with the camel?” I replied, “It has got tired.” So. Allah’s Apostle
came from behind it and rebuked it and prayed for it so it started surpassing the other camels and
going ahead of them. Then he asked me, “How do you find your camel (now)?” I replied, “I find it
quite well, now as it has received your blessings.” He said, “Will you sell it to me?” I felt shy (to refuse
his offer) though it was the only camel for irrigation we had. So, I said, “Yes.” He said, “Sell it to me
then.” I sold it to him on the condition that I should keep on riding it till I reached Medina. Then I
said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I am a bridegroom,” and requested him to allow me to go home. He allowed
me, and I set out for Medina before the people till I reached Medina, where I met my uncle, who
asked me about the camel and I informed him all about it and he blamed me for that. When I took
the permission of Allah’s Apostle he asked me whether I had married a virgin or a matron and I
replied that I had married a matron. He said, “Why hadn’t you married a virgin who would have
played with you, and you would have played with her?” I replied, “O Allah’s Apostle! My father died
(or was martyred) and I have some young sisters, so I felt it not proper that I should marry a young
girl like them who would neither teach them manners nor serve them. So, I have married a matron

so that she may serve them and teach them manners.” When Allah’s Apostle arrived in Medina, I took
the camel to him the next morning and he gave me its price and gave me the camel itself as well.
