اُردوEn
100 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ قَيْسَ بْنَ أَبِي حَازِمٍ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ: «كُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا نِسَاءٌ فًأًرَدْنَا أَنْ نَخْتَصِيَ فَنَهَانَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ»
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We used to participate in battles with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Women were not with us, so we intended to become eunuchs. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from doing so.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
It is forbidden (haram) for a Muslim to be castrated. Because there is harm in it, and the lineage is also cut off. In this hadith, permission for temporary marriage (nikah mut‘ah) was given. This permission was temporary; later, this form of marriage was declared permanently forbidden.
