English translation

3218. It was narrated from Sa'd bin Hishâm that he came to the Mother of the Believers, 'Aishah. He said: "I want to ask you about celibacy, what do you think about it?" She said: "Do not do that; have you not heard that Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, says: 'And indeed We sent Messengers before you, and made for them wives and offspring.[1] So do not be celibate.” (Sahīh)

Arabic text

3216 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخَلَنْجِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ الْمَازِنِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكِ عَنِ التَّبَتُّلِ، فَمَا تَرَيْنَ فِيهِ؟ قَالَتْ: " فَلَا تَفْعَلْ، أَمَا سَمِعْتَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ: {وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَذُرِّيَّةً} [الرعد: 38] فَلَا تَتَبَتَّلْ "

Commentary

‘Yet, marriage is the Sunnah of the prophets. And whoever dislikes my exemplary way or Sunnah is not of me’ (the upcoming Hadīth). To abandon the agreed upon way of the Prophet ﷺ is an evident misguidance, and severing ties with the Prophets ﷺ.
