Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to command marriage and forbid remaining unmarried, and he was strict about this. He used to say: "Marry women who are loving and able to bear children, for on the Day of Resurrection I will take pride in your great numbers before the other prophets."
Imam Ahmad, and Imam al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, recorded this narration by way of Hafs bin Umar from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him); Ibn Abi Hatim has mentioned him, and a group have narrated from him; the remaining narrators of this narration are the narrators of the Sahih.
