It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to command us to marry and strongly forbade us from celibacy, and he would say: "Marry the loving woman who bears many children, for I will take pride in your great numbers before the prophets."
