Q
What advice did the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) give to young people regarding marriage?
A
While I was with `Abdullah, `Uthman met him at Mina and said, “O Abu `Abdur-Rahman ! I have
something to say to you.” So both of them went aside and `Uthman said, “O Abu `Abdur-Rah. man!
Shall we marry you to a virgin who will make you remember your past days?” When `Abdullah felt
that he was not in need of that, he beckoned me (to join him) saying, “O ‘Alqama!” Then I heard him
saying (in reply to `Uthman), “As you have said that, (I tell you that) the Prophet (ﷺ) once said to us, ‘O
young people! Whoever among you is able to marry, should marry, and whoever is not able to marry,
is recommended to fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power.
