2244. It was narrated that 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Yazīd said: "We entered upon 'Abdullāh along with 'Alqamah, Al-Aswad and a group (of others). He told us a Hadīth which he only narrated to the people because of me, as I was the youngest of them. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'O young men, whoever among you can afford to get married let him do so, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity.'" (Sahīh) (One of the narrators) 'Alī said: "Al-'Amash was asked about the narration of Ibrāhīm, so he (the questioner) said: 'From Ibrāhīm, from 'Alqamah, from 'Abdullāh; similarly? To which he (Al-'Amash) replied: 'Yes.'"[1] (Sahīh) Abū ‘Abdur-Raḥmān (An-Nasā’ī) said: This (narrator) is Abū Ma‘shar, his name is Ziyād bin Kulāib, and he is trustworthy. He was a companion of Ibrāhīm. Maṣūr, Muḡirah, and Shu‘bah reported from him. (As for) Abū Ma‘shar Al-Madīnī; his name is Najīh and he is weak, and with his weakness, he also became confused, he narrated Munkar narrations, among them: Muḥammad bin ‘Amr from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: “What is between the east and the west is the Qiblah.”[1] And among them: Hishām bin ‘Urwah, from his father, from ‘Aishah, from the Prophet ﷺ: “Do not cut meat with the knife, rather gnaw at it.”[2]
