أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ " نَهَى عَنِ التَّبَتُّلِ " , قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : قَتَادَةُ أَثْبَتُ وَأَحْفَظُ مِنْ أَشْعَثَ , وَحَدِيثُ أَشْعَثَ أَشْبَهُ بِالصَّوَابِ ، وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ .
´Narrated Samurah bin Jundab:` It was narrated from Samurah bin Jundab that the Prophet forbade celibacy. Abu Abdur-Rahman said: Qatadah is more reliable and better preserves narrations than Ash'ath but the hadith of Ash'ath (here) appears to be the correct one. Allah, Most High, knows best.

Brief Explanation
1؎ : The reason for this is that in the narration of Ash'ath, there is an intermediary, Sa'd ibn Hisham, between Hasan and Umm al-Mu'minin A'ishah radi Allahu anha, whereas in the narration of Qatadah, there is no other intermediary between Hasan and the Companion of the Messenger, Samurah ibn Jundub radi Allahu anhu.
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Commentary:
Qatadah narrated this report from al-Hasan from Samurah ibn Jundub, meaning he made it the hadith of Samurah. However, this is his error, which is possible even from someone extremely trustworthy. Whereas Ash'ath has narrated it with the correct chain. Thus, this hadith is musnad of Aishah. And Allah Ta'ala knows best.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
To consider remaining unmarried as a virtue is incorrect, whether it is in the name of Sufism (tasawwuf), Qalandariyyah, or by any other name.
Marriage (nikah) is the Sunnah of all the Prophets (alayhimussalam).
The noble Prophets are not beings of light (nuri makhluq), rather they are human beings, the noblest of all creation, and for this reason they would marry and have children.
