3208. It was narrated that 'Alqamah said: "I was with Ibn Mas'ūd while he was with 'Uthmān, may Allāh be pleased with him, and 'Uthmān said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out to some Fityah (young men) —Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān said, 'I did not understand (the word) Fityah as I would want' — and said: 'Whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity, and whoever cannot, then fasting will be a restraint (Wijâ') for him.” (Sahih)

Arabic text

3206 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى فِتْيَةٍ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: «فَلَمْ أَفْهَمْ فِتْيَةً كَمَا أَرَدْتُ» فَقَالَ: «مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ ذَا طَوْلٍ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ، فَإِنَّهُ أَغَضُّ لِلْبَصَرِ، وَأَحْصَنُ لِلْفَرْجِ، وَمَنْ لَا، فَالصَّوْمُ لَهُ وِجَاءٌ»
