Hadith text

Narrated 'Alqama:While I was walking with `Abdullah he said, "We were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said, 'He who can afford to marry should marry, because it will help him refrain from looking at other women, and save his private parts from committing illegal sexual relation; and he who cannot afford to marry is advised to fast, as fasting will diminish his sexual power

Alqama bataate hain: Jabke main Abdullah ke saath chal raha tha, unhone kaha: "Hum Nabi ke saath the aur unhone kaha: 'Jo shaadi karne ki taakat rakhta hai, use shaadi karni chahiye, kyunke isse woh doosri aurton ki taraf dekhne se rukega, aur apni sharmgaah ko haram sambandh se bachaegaa; aur jo shaadi ki taakat nahi rakhta, use roza rakhna chahiye, kyunke roza uski shahavaani taakat ko kam karta hai.'"
