1080. Abū Ayyūb narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Four are from the Sunan of the Messengers: Al-Hayā,[1] using ʿAṭar,[2] the Siwāk, and marriage." (Ḍaʿīf)
(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from 'Uthmān, Thawbān, Ibn Mas'ūd, 'Āishah, 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, (Abī Najīh), Jābir, and 'Akkāf.
(Abū 'Eisā said:) The Ḥadīth of Abū Ayyūb is a Ḥasan Gharīb Ḥadīth.
(Another chain) that is similar to the narration of Ḥafṣ. (a narrator in the chain of this Ḥadīth)
(Abū 'Eisā said:) This Ḥadīth was reported by Hushaim, Muḥammad bin Yazīd Al-Wāsītī, Abū Mu'āwīyah, and others, from Al-Hajjāj, from Makḥūl, from Abū Ayyūb, and they did not mention "from Abū Ash-Shimāl" in it. (as Ḥafṣ bin Ghiyāth did).
The narration of Ḥafṣ bin Ghiyāth and 'Abbād bin Al-'Awwām (the previous chain) is more correct.

Commentary
'Nikāh' means marriage or to merge. In the Qur'an this word occurs with the meaning of 'Aqd a bond or contract of marriage. As 'Aqd or marriage is a cause of being husband and wife, so it has been used in the sense of making a relationship. Marriage is a Sunnah which Muslims are advised to follow.
