Musnad of Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas
Musnad Abi Ya'la 802 — Sayyiduna Uthman (bin Maz'un) asked
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ قَالَ : « اسْتَأْذَنَ عُثْمَانُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي التَّبَتُّلِ ، وَلَوْ أَذِنَ لَهُ لَاخْتَصَيْنَا » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that "Sayyiduna Uthman (bin Maz'un) (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission for tabattul (withdrawing from women to live in celibacy). Had he given him permission, we would (also) have castrated ourselves."
