[Machine] I went to Aisha and said, "O Mother of the Believers, I want to remain celibate." She replied, "Don't do that. Haven't you read that 'You have a good role model in the Messenger of Allah'? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ got married and had children."  

أحمد:٢٤٨١٠ – حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَبَتَّلَ فَقَالَتْ لَا تَفْعَلْ أَلَمْ تَقْرَأْ {لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ}؟ قَدْ تَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَوُلِدَ لَهُ

[Machine] I went to Aisha and said, "O mother of the believers, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." She said, "His character was the Quran. Do you not read the saying of Allah, 'And indeed, you are of a great moral character.' (Surah Al-Qalam, 68:4)" I said, "I want to learn more." She replied, "Do you not read, 'There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern.' (Surah Al-Ahzab, 33:21) Surely, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was married and had children."
