[Machine] I heard the Prophet of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever has the means and does not have a spouse, let them get married. And if they cannot get married, then let them have a servant. And if they cannot have a servant, then let them have a house or a riding animal. And whoever acquires anything else besides that, then they are extravagant or a thief."  

أحمد:١٨٠١٧حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فِيهِ الْمُسْتَوْرِدُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ غَيْلَانَ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ فَسَمِعَ الْمُسْتَوْرِدَ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ وَلِيَ عَمَلًا فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ زَوْجَةً فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ أَوْ خَادِمًا فَلْيَتَّخِذْ خَادِمًا أَوْ مَسْكَنًا أَوْ دَابَّةً فَلْيَتَّخِذْ دَابَّةً فَمَنْأَصَابَ شَيْئًا سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ غَالٌّ أَوْ سَارِقٌ

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Whoever has responsibility over our affairs but does not have a place to live, let him take a place to live. And whoever does not have a spouse, let him get married. And whoever does not have a servant, let him take a servant. And whoever does not have a means of transportation, let him acquire a means of transportation. And whoever gains anything other than that, it is excess."

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever has the ability to marry should get married, and whoever does not have the ability to marry should fast. Whoever does not have a house should seek shelter, and whoever does not have a means of transportation should seek a ride. Therefore, whoever goes beyond these limits is extravagant or a thief."

"مَنْ وَلِيَ لَنَا عَمَلًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ زَوْجَةٌ فَليَتَّخذْ زَوْجَةً، وَمَنْ لَمْ يكُنْ لَهُ خَادِمٌ فَليتَّخِذْ خَادِمًا، أَوْ لَيسَ لَهُ مَسْكَنٌ فَليَتَّخِذْ مَسْكنًا، أَوْ دَابَّةٌ، فَليَتَّخِذْ دَابَّةً، فَمَنْ أَصَابَ سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ غَالٌّ أَوْ سَارِقٌ".
