حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ:

كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بِمِنًى فَلَقِيَ عُثْمَانَ فَقَامَ مَعَهُ يُحَدِّثُهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَلَا نُزَوِّجُكَ جَارِيَةً شَابَّةً لَعَلَّهَا تُذَكِّرُكَ مَا مَضَى مِنْ زَمَانِكَ ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: أَمَا لَئِنْ قُلْتَ ذَاكَ، لَقَدْ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الشَّبَابِ، مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمُ الْبَاءَةَ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ، فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالصَّوْمِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ

✧ I was walking with Abdullah in Mina when he met Uthman and stood with him talking. Uthman said to him: 'O Abu Abd al-Rahman, shall we marry you to a young slave girl, perhaps she will remind you of what has passed of your time?' Abdullah said: 'If you say that, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us: "O young men, whoever among you can afford marriage, let him marry, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity. Whoever cannot, then let him fast, for it is a shield for him."'
