Sahih al-Bukhari 2967

It is related that Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said, "I went on an expedition with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, caught up to me while I was on an irrigation camel of ours that had become tired so that it could hardly walk. He asked me, 'What is wrong with your camel?' I answered, 'It is tired.'" He said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went behind and chided it and prayed for it and it went between the camels until it was going in front of them. He said, 'How do you find your camel?' I said, 'Well. It has your blessing.' He asked, 'Will you sell it to me?' I was shy although we did not have any other camel besides it. I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Sell it to me then,' so I sold it to him provided that I could ride on its back until I reached Madina." He said, "I said, 'Messenger of Allah, I am a bridegroom,' and I asked his permission [to go ahead] and he gave me permission. I preceded the people to Madina and my uncle meet me. He asked me about the camel and I told him what I had done about it. He criticised me. When I had asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, for permission, he asked me, 'Have you married a virgin or a woman who was married prviously?' I said, 'I have married a woman who was married previously.' He asked, 'Why not a virgin whom you could play with and who could play with you?' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, my father died - or was martyred - and I have young sisters. I did not want to marry someone like them who could not discipline them or and take care of them. Therefore I married a woman who had been previously married to care for them and discipline them.'" He said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, reached Madina, I took the camel to him and he gave me its price and then returned it to me." Al-Mughira said, "In our judgement this is excellent and we see no harm in it." ["This" means a sale with this sort of condition attached to it.]
