Bismillah irRahman irRahim
I have read in the book of my father, may Allah Taala bless him with His Mercy, that Hz. Shaykh Abdullah al-Jabbani r.a. reports a tradition that while he was sitting in the company of Hz. Shaykh Abd-ul-Qaadir Jilaani r.a., once a person asked him why did he get married so late in his life. He says that the Shaykh replied him very politely that he did not want in the early years to lose his attention from Allah Taala, and that he did not want to quit the Sunnat of Prophet s.a.w. as well, so he waited for an order from Ghayb, and when it came he did married accordingly.
