Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5110 — Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) relates
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ ، قَالَ : قَدِمْنَا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ : مَا بَقِيَ مِنْكَ لِلنِّسَاءِ ؟ قَالَ : ادْنُ يَا عَلْقَمَةَ - وَكُنْتُ شَابًّا - فَدَنَوْتُ ، فَقَالَ : خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى فِتْيَةٍ عُزَّابٍ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ ذَا طَوْلٍ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ ، فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ ، وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ ، وَمَنْ لَا فَالصَّوْمُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that we came with Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) asked Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): "Do you still have any need for women (any desire for marriage)?" Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Alqamah! Come closer." (Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I was a young man at the time.) So I came closer, and he said (narrating the hadith) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to some unmarried young men and said: "Whoever among you is able to marry should marry, for it is most effective in lowering the gaze and in guarding the private parts; and whoever is not able should fast, for fasting is a means of curbing desire for him."
