Hadith #50231
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا مَعْشَرَ الشَّبَابِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمُ الْبَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ»
On the authority of Abdullah bin Masoud, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “O young men, whoever of you is able to marry, let him get married.” For it is more pleasing to one’s eyes and a better part of one’s chastity. And whoever is not able to do so should fast, for it is a reward for him.”
