It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz’oon (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to practice celibacy, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him. If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had permitted him, we would have become eunuchs.
