Jabir bin `Abdullah Narrated from:

When I got married, Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم 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?" Jâbir also said: Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you might play with her and she with you?" ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 17, Vol. 7)
