أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى فِتْيَةٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : فَلَمْ أَفْهَمْ فِتْيَةً كَمَا أَرَدْتُ فَقَالَ : " مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ ذَا طَوْلٍ ، فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ ، فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ ، وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ ، وَمَنْ لَا ، فَالصَّوْمُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ " .
´Narrated 'Alqamah:` It was narrated that 'Alqamah said: "I was with Ibn Mas'ud while he was with 'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, and 'Uthman said: 'The Messenger of Allah came out to some fityah (young men)--Abu 'AbdurRahman said, 'I did not understand (the word) fityah as I would want'-- and said: 'Whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity, and whoever cannot, then fasting will be a restraint (wija') for him.'"
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) By "means," what is meant are the dowry (mahr) and other expenses related to marriage. Similarly, it includes the expenses for the wife's food, drink, and clothing.
(2) "He must marry"—the apparent wording indicates obligation (wujub). Imam Ahmad rahimahullah holds this view. However, the majority of scholars interpret it as recommendation (istihbab). The fundamental principle is that the obligation or recommendation of marriage can differ depending on the individual. For example, a person who possesses the ability to marry and also fears falling into sin, for him marriage is obligatory (wajib/fard). (For further details, see Hadith: 2241)
