1081. 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd narrated: "We went with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, while we were young men who had nothing. He said: 'O young men! You should marry, for indeed it helps in lowering the gaze and protecting the private parts. Whoever among you is not able to marry, then let him fast, for indeed fasting will diminish his sexual desire." (Sahih)
(Abū 'Eisā said:) This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.
(Another chain) with similar narration.
(Abū 'Eisā said:) Others have reported this chain from Al-
A'mash similarly. Abū Mu'āwiyah and Al-Muḥārībī reported similarly from Al-A'mash, from 'Alqamah, from 'Abdullāh, from the Prophet ﷺ.
(Abū 'Eisā said: Both of them are Sahih).

Commentary
The Arabic word 'Al-Ba'ah' means to make relationship and it is deduced from 'Maba'a' which means to provide residence. Whoever marries a woman provides her residence. For the sake of making a relationship, it is necessary to marry and to take the responsibility of food and maintenance.
