He said, What is the matter with you? I replied, My camel is slow and tired, so I am left behind. So, he got down and poked the camel with his stick and then ordered me to ride.

He asked, A virgin or a matron? I replied, I married a matron. The Prophet said, Why have you not married a virgin, so that you may play with her and she may play with you? Jabir replied, I have sisters (young in age) so I liked to marry a matron who could collect them all and comb their hair and look after them. The Prophet said, You will reach, so when you have arrived (at home), I advise you to associate with your wife (that you may have an intelligent son). Then he asked me, Would you like to sell your camel? I replied in the affirmative and the Prophet purchased it for one Uqiya of gold. Allah's Apostle reached before me and I reached in the morning, and when I went to the mosque, I found him at the door of the mosque. He asked me, Have you arrived just now? I replied in the affirmative. He said, Leave your camel and come into (the mosque) and pray two rak`at. I entered and offered the prayer. He told Bilal to weigh and give me one Uqiya of gold. So Bilal weighed for me fairly and I went away. The Prophet sent for me and I thought that he would return to me my camel which I hated more than anything else. But the Prophet said to me, Take your camel as well as its price.
