أَخْبَرَنَا
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ
الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ
عَلْقَمَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِمِنًى فَلَقِيَهُ عُثْمَانُ ، فَقَامَ مَعَهُ يُحَدِّثُهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَلَا أُزَوِّجُكَ جَارِيَةً شَابَّةً فَلَعَلَّهَا أَنْ تُذَكِّرَكَ بَعْضَ مَا مَضَى مِنْكَ ، فَقَالَ
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : أَمَا لَئِنْ قُلْتَ ذَاكَ لَقَدْ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا مَعْشَرَ الشَّبَاب : " مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمُ الْبَاءَةَ ، فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ " .
´Narrated 'Alqamah:` It was narrated that 'Alqamah said: "I was walking with 'Abdullah in Mina and he was met by 'Uthman who stood with him and spoke with him. He said: 'O Abu Abdur-Rahman! Shall I not marry you to a young girl? Perhaps she will remind you of when you were younger?' 'Abdullah said: 'As you say that (it reminds me that) the Messenger of Allah said to us: O young men, whoever among you can afford it, let him get married.'"
