✧ 'Aqil b. Abi Talib
"يا عَكَّافُ: هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ زَوْجَةٍ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: وَلَا جَارِيَةٍ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: وَأَنْتَ مُوسِرٌ بَخير؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أنْتَ إِذَنْ مِنْ إِخْوَانِ الشَّيَاطِين، إِمَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْ رُهْبَانِ النَّصَارَى فَأَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ، وَإِمَّا أنْ تَكُونَ مِنَّا فَاصْنَعْ كَمَا نَصْنَعُ، لَوْ كُنْتَ مِنَ النَّصَارَى كُنْتَ مِنْ رُهْبَانِهِمْ، وَإِنَّ مِنْ سُنَّتِنَا النَّكَاحَ، شِرَارُكُمْ عُزَّابُكُمْ، وَأَرَاذِلُ مَوْتَاكُمْ

"O 'Akkaf, do you have a wife? He said: No. He said: Nor a slave-girl? He said: No. He said: And are you wealthy with goodness? He said: Yes. He said: Then you are of the brothers of the devils. Either you are of the monks of the Christians, so you are one of them, or you are of us, so do as we do. Had you been of the Christians, you would have been of their monks. Indeed, among our sunnah is marriage. The worst of you are your bachelors, and the basest of your dead"
