1083. Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab narrated from Sa'd bin Abī Waqqās: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ refused 'Uthmān bin Ma'zūn (when he asked) regarding celibacy, and if he had permitted it for him, then we would have castrated ourselves." (Ṣaḥīh) (Abū 'Eisā said:) This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīh.
١٠٨٣ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ، قَالُوا: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ، قَالَ: «رَدَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ» التَّبَتُّلَ، وَلَوْ أَذِنَ لَهُ لَاخْتَصَيْنَا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Celibacy is not allowed in Islām. The Arabic word 'At-Tabbattul' means to stay away from women. A woman who has no interest in men is called 'Batūl' in the Arabic language. Fātimah was called Batūl because she was always busy in the remembrance of Allāh ﷺ.
