Marriage Encouragement

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad encouraged Jabir to get married and reassured him that he would be able to afford it.

It was narrated that Jabir said: "The Messenger of Allah said to me: 'Have you got married?' I said: 'Yes'. He said: 'Have you got any Anmat?' I said: 'How can we afford Anmat?' He said: 'You will be able to'."
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ هَلْ تَزَوَّجْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ هَلِ اتَّخَذْتُمْ أَنْمَاطًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَأَنَّى لَنَا أَنْمَاطٌ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad encouraging Jabir to get married. He asked him if he had gotten married, and when Jabir said yes, the Prophet asked if he had any Anmat. When Jabir said they couldn't afford it, the Prophet reassured him that they would be able to. This hadith teaches us that marriage is important in Islam and encourages us not to worry about affording it because Allah will provide for us if we are sincere in our intentions. It also shows us how kind and compassionate the Prophet was towards his followers, as he was willing to reassure them even when they were worried about something as small as affording a wedding gift.
