عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ : دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ : عَكَّافُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " يَا عَكَّافُ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ زَوْجَةٍ ؟ " قَالَ : لَا . قَالَ : " وَلَا جَارِيَةٍ ؟ " قَالَ : لَا . قَالَ : " وَأَنْتَ مُوسِرٌ بِخَيْرٍ ؟ " قَالَ : وَأَنَا مُوسِرٌ بِخَيْرٍ . قَالَ : " أَنْتَ إِذَنْ مِنْ إِخْوَانِ الشَّيَاطِينِ ، لَوْ كُنْتَ مِنَ النَّصَارَى كُنْتَ مِنْ رُهْبَانِهِمْ ، إِنَّ سُنَّتَنَا النِّكَاحُ ، شِرَارُكُمْ عُزَّابُكُمْ ، وَأَرَاذِلُ مَوْتَاكُمْ عُزَّابُكُمْ ، أَبِالشَّيَاطِينِ تَمْرُسُونَ ؟ مَا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ سِلَاحٌ أَبْلَغُ فِي الصَّالِحِينَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا الْمُتَزَوِّجُونَ أُولَئِكَ الْمُطَهَّرُونَ الْمُبَرَّءُونَ مِنَ الْخَنَا . وَيْحَكَ يَا عَكَّافُ إِنَّهُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ أَيُّوبَ وَدَاوُدَ وَيُوسُفَ وَكُرْسُفَ " . قَالَ لَهُ بِشْرُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ : مَنْ كُرْسُفُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ بِسَاحِلٍ مِنْ سَوَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ ثَلَاثَمِائَةِ عَامٍ ؛ يَصُومُ النَّهَارَ وَيَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ فِي سَبَبِ امْرَأَةٍ عَشِقَهَا وَتَرَكَ مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، ثُمَّ اسْتَدْرَكَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِبَعْضِ مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ . وَيْحَكَ يَا عَكَّافُ تَزَوَّجْ، وَإِلَّا فَأَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُذَبْذَبِينَ " . قَالَ : زَوِّجْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ : " زَوَّجْتُكَ كَرِيمَةَ بِنْتَ كُلْثُومٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ رَاوٍ لَمْ يُسَمَّ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); his name was Akkaf bin Bishr al-Tamimi. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "O Akkaf! Do you have a wife?" He said: "No!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Not even a slave girl?" He said: "No!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Are you well off, in good circumstances?" He said: "I am well off, in good circumstances." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In that case you are one of the brothers of the devils. Had you been among the Christians, you would have been one of their monks. Our Sunnah is marriage. The worst of you are your unmarried ones, and the worst death among you comes to the unmarried. Do you want to follow the way of the devils? The devils have no weapon more effective against the righteous than women, except in the case of those who marry; they are pure and free from treachery (or indecency). Woe to you, O Akkaf! These (women) were the wives of Ayyub (peace be upon him), Dawud (peace be upon him), Yusuf (peace be upon him) and Kursuf (or: these men too were married)."
The narrator says: Sayyiduna Bishr bin Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! Who is Kursuf?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man who worshipped Allah Almighty on one of the shores of the sea for three hundred years. He would fast by day and offer voluntary prayers by night. Then, because of his passion for a woman, he disbelieved in Allah Almighty and abandoned the worship of Allah Almighty he used to do. Then, because of some good deed of his, Allah Almighty granted him the ability to repent, and he repented." (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) "Woe to you, O Akkaf! Get married! Otherwise you will remain among those in between." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! Arrange my marriage!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I marry you to Karimah bint Kulthum al-Himyari."
Imam Ahmad recorded this narration; its chain contains a narrator who is not named; the remaining narrators of this narration are thiqat (trustworthy).
