Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) from abstaining from marriage (tabattul), and had he (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted it, we would have castrated ourselves."
