باب مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَوْلٌ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ:Chapter: Whoever Has Means Should Marry
Hadith 2202
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ عُمَارَة، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، قَال: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّه: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَبَابًا لَيْسَ لَنَا شَيْءٌ، فَقَال: "يَا مَعْشَرَ الشَّبَابِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمُ الْبَاءَة، فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ، فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّ الصَّوْمَ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were young men with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and we had nothing (means). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "O young men! Whoever among you has the means to marry should get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding the private parts. And whoever is not able to marry should fast, for fasting diminishes his sexual desire."
