Chapter: Prohibition of Castration and Monasticism
Hadith 6836
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا نِسَاءٌ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا نَسْتَخْصِي فَنَهَانَا عَنْهُ ثُمَّ رَخَّصَ لَنَا بَعْدُ فِي أَنْ نَتَزَوَّجَ الْمَرْأَةَ بِالثَّوْبِ إِلَى أَجَلٍ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُحَرِّمُوا طَيِّبَاتِ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ [المائدة: 87]
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him): We were engaged in jihad with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and we did not have our wives with us. We said: O Messenger of Allah! Should we not get ourselves castrated? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from doing so, and then permitted us to marry women for a specified period in exchange for garments and the like (which is called Mut’ah). Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse: O you who believe! Do not make unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for you, and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like the transgressors.
Hadith 6837
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ائْذَنْ لِي أَنْ أَخْتَصِيَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خِصَاءُ أُمَّتِي الصِّيَامُ وَالْقِيَامُ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Permit me to be castrated. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The way of castration for my Ummah is to fast and to stand in prayer at night.
Hadith 6838
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ جَاءَ شَابٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَتَأْذَنُ لِي فِي الْخِصَاءِ فَقَالَ صُمْ وَسَلِ اللَّهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both): A young man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Will you permit me to be castrated?

Hadith 6839
عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَرَادَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ أَنْ يَتَبَتَّلَ فَنَهَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَوْ أَجَازَ ذَلِكَ لَاخْتَصَيْنَا
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.

عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ التَّبَتُّلِ

عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكِ عَنِ التَّبَتُّلِ فَمَا تَرَيْنَ فِيهِ قَالَتْ فَلَا تَفْعَلْ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ {وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَذُرِّيَّةً} [الرعد 38] فَلَا تَبَتَّلْ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ وَقَدْ فَقِهَ وَقَدِمَ الْبَصْرَةَ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى خَرَجَ إِلَى أَرْضِ مَكْرَانَ فَقُتِلَ هُنَاكَ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ عَمَلِهِ
It is narrated from Sa’d bin Hisham that he said to Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): I want to ask you about abstinence (tabattul); what is your opinion about it? She said: Do not do so. Have you not heard the statement of Allah Almighty: “And indeed We sent Messengers before you and appointed for them wives and offspring.” Therefore, avoid abstinence. Then he went out, having acquired understanding and jurisprudence, then he went to Basra, and after staying there for some time, he went towards the land of Makran, and there, while performing the best of deeds, he was martyred.

وَعَنْهَا فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى قَالَتْ لَا تَفْعَلْ أَمَا تَقْرَأُ {لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ} [الأحزاب 21] فَقَدْ تَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ وُلِدَ لَهُ
(Second chain) Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Avoid celibacy. Have you not read this verse? Allah Almighty said: Indeed, in the life of the Messenger of Allah there is a best example for you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also married and he (peace and blessings be upon him) also had children.
