مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5382 — he said: We used to take part in military
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ: كُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْسَ لَنَا نِسَاءٌ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلَا نَسْتَخْصِي؟ «فَنَهَانَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ، وَأُمِرْنَا أَنْ نَنْكِحَ الْمَرْأَةَ بِالثَّوْبِ»، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُحَرِّمُوا طَيِّبَاتِ مَا أَحِلَّ اللَّهُ} [المائدة: 87]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "We used to take part in military expeditions with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and our wives were not with us. So we said: 'O Messenger of Allah, should we not have ourselves castrated (to end desire)?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from that and granted us the concession to marry a woman in exchange for a garment." Then Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this blessed verse: "O you who believe, do not make unlawful the good things that Allah has made lawful for you."
