حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مَا بَقِيَ لِلنِّسَاءِ مِنْكَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا ذُكِرَتْ النِّسَاءُ قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ادْنُ يَا عَلْقَمَةُ قَالَ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى فِتْيَةٍ مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَقَالَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ ذَا طَوْلٍ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلطَّرْفِ وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ وَمَنْ لَا فَإِنَّ الصَّوْمَ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ.
Ismail told us, Yunus bin Ubaid told us, on the authority of Abu Ma’shar, on the authority of Ibrahim, on the authority of Alqamah, he said: I was with Ibn Masoud while he was with Othman, may God be pleased with him, and Othman, may God be pleased with him, said to him: What is left of you for the women? He said: When the women were mentioned, Ibn Masoud said, “Come down.” O Alqamah, he said, “I am a young man.” Uthman, may God be pleased with him, said to him: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, went out to meet a group of immigrants. So he said, “Whoever among you has a long life, let him get married, for it is more attractive to people and more secure in chastity.” And whoever is not, then fasting will be fulfilled for him.
