1849. It was narrated from Samurah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade celibacy. Zaid bin Akhzam added: "And Qatādah recited: 'And indeed We sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad ﷺ), and made for them wives and offspring.'"[1] (Sahih)
1849 - حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ آدَمَ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ أَخْزَمَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «نَهَى عَنِ التَّبَتُّلِ» . زَادَ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَخْزَمَ: وَقَرَأَ قَتَادَةُ: {وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَذُرِّيَّةً} [الرعد: 38] بَابُ حَقِّ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَى الزَّوْجِ

It is certainly wrong to regard celibacy a good deed; whether it is performed in the name of Sufism, monasticism or in any other name. Nikāh (marriage) is a Sunnah of all the Prophets ﷺ. The noble Prophets ﷺ were not the beings created from light, but they were human beings, and the best of the creatures, and they married, and they had offspring too.
