[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a young man and I fear falling into sin, and I cannot find a woman to marry. Give me permission to restrain myself." He remained silent. Then I repeated the same statement to him, and he remained silent. Then I repeated the same statement to him, and he said, "O Abu Huraira, the pen has dried up with what you are insisting on. Either restrain yourself or marry."
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَى نَفْسِي الْعَنَتَ وَلَا أَجِدُ مَا أَتَزَوَّجُ النِّسَاءَ فَأْذَنْ لِي أَنْ أَخْتَصِيَ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَدْ جَفَّ الْقَلَمُ بِمَا أَنْتَ لَاقٍ فَاخْتَصِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَوْ دَعْ
