Musnad Ahmad 4023 — Musnad of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَبَابًا لَيْسَ لَنَا شَيْءٌ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا مَعْشَرَ الشَّبَابِ ، مَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ الْبَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ ، فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ ، وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ ، فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ ، فَإِنَّ الصَّوْمَ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that we young men were once with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and we had nothing with us. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: “O group of young men! Whoever among you has the ability to marry, he should get married, for marriage lowers the gaze and protects the private parts. And whoever is not able to marry should observe fasting, for fasting diminishes sexual desire.”
