The Prophet ﷺ prevented ʿUthman bin Mazun from that (not marrying), and had he allowed him, we would have got ourselves castrated. (Using translation from Bukhārī 5074)  

الدارمي:٢٢١٣أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أََنْبَأَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ يَقُولُ «لَقَدْ رَدَّ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ وَلَوْ أَجَازَ لَهُ التَّبَتُّلَ لَاخْتَصَيْنَا»
