Hadith 6835
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعٌ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ التَّعَطُّرُ وَالنِّكَاحُ وَالسِّوَاكُ وَالْحَيَاءُ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Four things are the practices of the noble Prophets: applying perfume, marriage, using the miswak, and living life with modesty.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In one narration, instead of "al-haya’" (modesty), the word "al-hina’" (henna) appears, and in another, the word "al-khitan" (circumcision) is used. The latter wording appears to be more correct, i.e., performing circumcision.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam encouraged every person who has the means to get married. Imam Ahmad, in light of the command of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, considered marriage to be obligatory (wajib), whereas the majority of scholars (jumhur ahl al-‘ilm) hold it to be recommended (mustahabb). The real matter is that the obligation or recommendation of marriage can differ for different individuals. For example, a person who has the ability to marry and also fears falling into sin, for him marriage is obligatory (wajib) and compulsory (fard).
Abundant and good food and drink increase sexual desire, whereas fasting (sawm) is about hunger and thirst, and a lack of nourishment breaks sexual desire. Therefore, fasting is beneficial for unmarried youth; in any case, fasting protects from sin. In other words, a fasting person remains calm like a castrated man.
