حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، نَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْخَلَّالُ، نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الطَّوِيلُ، نَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ:
قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ، وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ الْعَنَتَ عَلَى نَفْسِي، وَلَسْتُ أَجِدُ طَوْلًا أَتَزَوَّجُ بِهِ النِّسَاءَ، أَفَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَخْتَصِيَ ؟ قَالَ: فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ، لَا أَجِدُ طَوْلًا أَتَزَوَّجُ بِهِ النِّسَاءَ، أَفَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَخْتَصِيَ ؟ وَقُلْتُ الثَّالِثَةَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، جَفَّ الْقَلَمُ بِمَا أَنْتَ لَاقٍ، فَاخْتَصِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَوْ ذَرْ

✧ I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am a young man, and I fear hardship for myself, and I do not find the means to marry women. Do you permit me to castrate myself?' He said: He was silent. Then I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am a young man, I do not find the means to marry women. Do you permit me to castrate myself?' And I said the third time the like of that. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Abu Hurayrah, the pen has dried concerning what you will meet, so castrate yourself or leave it.'
