1862 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَلَّامُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ مُزَاحِمٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَلْقَى اللَّهَ طَاهِرًا مُطَهَّرًا، فَلْيَتَزَوَّجِ الْحَرَائِرَ»

Commentary
Nikāh is from among the important Commandments of Islam; therefore it is not right to remain single without any valid reason. The abundance of children is a demand of the Shari'ah because this pleases the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.
