حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَعَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ
كُنْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، وَهُوَ عِنْدَ عُثْمَانَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: مَا بَقِيَ لِلنِّسَاءِ مِنْكَ ؟ قَالَ: فَلَمَّا ذُكِرَتِ النِّسَاءُ قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: ادْنُ يَا عَلْقَمَةُ، قَالَ: وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى فِتْيَةٍ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ ذَا طَوْلٍ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ، فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلطَّرْفِ، وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ، وَمَنْ لَا فَإِنَّ الصَّوْمَ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ.

✧ I was with Ibn Mas'ud while he was with Uthman, and Uthman said to him: What remains of you for women? He said: When women were mentioned, Ibn Mas'ud said: Come close, O Alqamah. He said: And I was a young man. Uthman said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out upon a group of young men from the Muhajirun and said: Whoever among you has the means, let him marry, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity. And whoever does not, then fasting is a means of reducing desire for him.

- Yaḥyá b. Maʿīn
سئل يحيى بن معين عن حديث أبي معشر فقال خطأ خالفه الأعمش
machine translationYaḥyā b. Maʿīn was asked about the hadith of Abū Maʿshar, and he said: "A mistake; al-Aʿmash contradicted him."
in مسند أحمد, p. 412 - Aḥmad ibn Shuʿayb al-Nasāʾī
أبو معشر هذا اسمه زياد بن كليب وهو ثقة وهو صاحب إبراهيم روى عنه منصور ومغيرة وشعبة وأبو معشر المدني اسمه نجيح وهو ضعيف ومع ضعفه أيضا كان قد اختلط عنده أحاديث مناكير
machine translationThis Abū Maʿshar is named Ziyād b. Kulayb, and he is trustworthy (thiqah). He was a companion of Ibrāhīm. Manṣūr, Mughīrah and Shuʿbah narrated from him. As for Abū Maʿshar al-Madanī, his name is Najīḥ, and he is weak (ḍaʿīf); besides his weakness, his narrations had also become confused (ikhtalaṭa), and he has reprehensible (munkar) hadiths.
in مسند أحمد, p. 412 - Dāraquṭnī
وسئل عن حديث علقمة عن عبد الله عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج الحديث فقال يرويه الأعمش والمغيرة ومنصور وحماد وأبو حمزة عن إبراهيم عن علقمة عن عبد الله وخالفهم أبو معشر فرواه عن إبراهيم عن علقمة وأسنده عن عثمان بن عفان وقول الأعمش ومن تابعه أصح
machine translationHe was also asked about the hadith of ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh, from the Prophet ﷺ: "Whoever among you is able to marry, let him marry" (the hadith). He said: It is narrated by al-Aʿmash, al-Mughīrah, Manṣūr, Ḥammād and Abū Ḥamzah, from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh. Abū Maʿshar contradicted them: he narrated it from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqamah, and traced it back to ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān. The statement of al-Aʿmash and those who followed him is more correct (aṣaḥḥ).
