① Sayyiduna Saad bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'oon (may Allah be pleased with him) intended not to marry for the sake of renouncing the world (Tabattul), but the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade him. If the Prophet (peace be upon him) had permitted him, we would have become eunuchs.

② It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samrah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade renouncing the world (by not marrying).

﴿وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّن قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَذُرِّيَّةً﴾
"And indeed We sent before you many messengers and assigned to them wives and descendants."
